Local Activities
This month’s meeting of the Sonoma-Marin SCI Support Group will be held on Monday, December 17th from 4:00-5:30 pm at the Clubhouse of the Azure Apartment complex (5 Indigo Drive – Petaluma). This year we are having a Potluck supper, a perfect opportunity to meet members in an informal setting. Call Stan at 707-774-6466 to notify the group if you are planning to attend.
Other Resources to Tap
There are several other local resources that may have equipment donated to them for sharing. It would be wise to give them a call to see if they have the piece of equipment you need.
