We are so grateful to have all we need in the next chapter of our life together. Please know that your presence on our day is more than enough, but for those who have expressed an interest, we’ve listed the local charities closest to our hearts. A contribution would be most appreciated in lieu of a gift.

1. Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA) - Partners with the national park on conservation and education projects. Cassandra has been hiking in the park since 1992, and she took Brian to it on their first date. Our home is half a mile from it, and we are so grateful for PRNSA's work in preserving, enhancing and sharing it with everyone.

2. Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC) - Provides kayaking and river rafting outings for people with disabilities and under-resourced youth. Brian is a volunteer guide, taking a range of groups kayaking on Tomales Bay for day trips and camping overnight.

3. West Marin Community Services - Provides safety net services for lower-income individuals, families, and older adults. Cassandra recently helped them develop a strategic plan, and they are key leaders in working with the local farmworker community.

4. Community Land Trust of West Marin (CLAM) - The affordable housing developer and provider for West Marin. Cassandra is currently providing organizational capacity building support and has been a long-term donor to help them create more housing and welcome more neighbors.
