Club News
Claire Richardson, marketing director for Paws for Purple Hearts, shared the scope of their program to provide comfort dogs to veterans experiencing post traumatic stress. With her was Lois, a trained comfort dog and her trainer, Dari. The dogs go through an extensive program to learn how to connect with people in distress and to be a source of support for veterans. While Claire's presentation was informative, Lois stole the show demonstrating how she calms people down by sitting on their laps and other commands. Great work and an important mission.
Rotary Club of Ignacio was pleased to welcome Cyndi Moore as a new member. Sponsored by Carrie Lee, Cyndi has an extensive list of nonprofits and community service organizations that she supports. She's the principal in her own investment management and financial planning service and will be a big asset to the club for both Community Service and Vocational Service projects.

A crew from RCI, and some master gardeners, finished the planting of over 600 native plants (including milk weed) in the second plot of the pollinators' garden. The first was planted over 2 years ago and is already attracting butterflies. We have high hopes for the second as well. The was made possible by a grant from the club and the support of Marin County Parks volunteer coordinator Greg Reza.
