Dear Friends,                                                                                            December 2024

 

2024 has proven to be a difficult year for the BCC. Expenses continue to rise, and the center’s board and staff found it necessary to utilize a large portion of the reserves we worked so diligently to create. Even under these circumstances and due to the continued dedication and hard work of a committed staff, board of directors, fantastic volunteers and the generosity of the surrounding community we were able to continue making improvements such as remodeling the restroom to accommodate wheelchairs, purchase and install new sound amplifiers, new microphones, termite treatment, and more.

 

The BCC continues to facilitate daily village & beach cleanup, maintain the public restrooms and free box which combined add up to expenses of $29,500 annually. The center offers many classes and events as well as a variety of locally based human services such as free legal clinics, CERT training, a weekly food bank through West Marin/SF Food Bank, civic meetings, film screenings and hosting free holiday meals. The BCC is a designated Disaster Council Shelter Site and works as a fiscal sponsor for a dozen local programs such as The Bolinas-Stinson Summer Camp, West Marin Community Mediation, Hearsay News, and the Bolinas Eucalyptus Project.

 

Our goal is to provide diverse, inclusive programming while continuing to respond to the changing needs of our village population. We strive to improve the quality of life in Bolinas.

 

A good portion of our funding comes from donations such as yours and the BCC is asking you to contribute and help us reach our goals and keep the doors open.

 

We are reaching out to you for assistance on our current projects and needs:

  • New roof on this great 72-year-old building.
  • Refinish the main hall floor before damage becomes irreversible.
  • General Support for daily operation & maintenance expenses.

 

For additional information check our website; www.bocenter.org.

 

Please join us by contributing towards the support of the caring work done by the Bolinas Community Center.

 

With deep gratitude,

The Bolinas Community Center Staff and Board of Directors

 

P.S     HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION.
