2025 Crab Feed
Saturday, January 25, 2025

Your past generosity has enabled us to provide scholarships for our West County graduating seniors (which helps build strong and responsible adults who then give back to our community.)  We have also funded over 20 non-profits in the lower Russian River area including the senior center, school programs, homeless services, and programs for children.

We produce a local FIXIT Fair as well as the free-to-the-public “Rockin’ the River” concerts series.

 International Projects include building a school Escuelita Frida in rural Mexico, contributing to providing emergency generators and first aid kits in Ukraine and digging wells in Zimbabwe. We are the oldest club in Sonoma County (over 94 Years & Counting!) and our services have been needed so much more lately because of fire, floods, war, and Covid-19.  Although our fundraisers have been curtailed by these same disasters, we remain Committed, Steadfast and Strong!

Please JOIN US for Great Food, Great Music and Fabulous Frivolity

and Help Us Keep Up this Wonderful and Important Work!
