Community Guide 2017
The Edie Robinson Awards The Edie Robinson Community Service Award (ERCSA) was created in 1999 as a way of permanently honoring Edie Robinson’s many years of community service and honoring residents of the San Geronimo Valley who make outstanding long-term contributions to life in the Valley. The award recognizes positive achievement, devotion, and community building. Every second year, the ERCSA com- mittee initiates a broad community nomination process to choose two recipients, one for the current year and one for the year just ended. The recipients’ portraits are rendered by Anne McClain and added to the beautiful ERCSA trip- tych that hangs in the Community Center lobby. The Edie Robinson Awards are presented at the annual San Geronimo Valley Healthy Community Collaborative End- of-Year Barbecue, which honors the many individuals and families who volunteer at the HCC nonprofit organizations.
