Community Guide 2017
Welcome!
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the San Geronimo Valley Community Center, I would like to welcome you to this 50th anniversary issue of the Community Guide (formerly Resource Guide ) and the rich legacy it represents. If you are new to the San Geronimo Valley and Nicasio, and this is the first Guide you’ve seen, you are in for a treat! The first time I saw the Valley Resource Guide , having just moved to Forest Knolls from NYC, it was the “Millennium 2000” issue. I opened it thinking it was merely a telephone directory. After several hours of amazed reading about everything from Miwok History to advice on water-saving toilets, I felt informed and illuminated about the rich past and dynamic present of this beautiful place we live in. Over the years, that millennial Guide’s corners, and those editions that followed, have grown soft with use, margins filled with jotted notes; to this day we still refer back to them for tips and infor- mation.
The Board and Staff of the San Geronimo Valley Community Center are extremely proud and grateful to again coordi- nate and fund the publication of this latest edition of the Guide . We are deeply thankful to the team of volunteers who’ve devoted countless hours and energy to the creation of this special anniversary edition. As we approach our 50 th year, the San Geronimo Valley Community Center Board of Directors is dedicated more than ever to ensuring that the Center and its programs are able to continue our mission well into the future. This anniversary Guide is an apt reflection of that effort. This new Guide , like those before it, is bursting with information and resources, fresh stories and fascinating history about the San Geronimo Valley and Nicasio you may have never heard. I’m sure you’ll delight in opening the pages of this Guide and the gifts and surprises within. No doubt, your copy too will grow soft and dog-eared. Use it well, and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Marian Cremin, President San Geronimo Valley Community Center Board of Directors
