If you need to reach Susan, call her at 707-579-2604 ext. 104 or email her at susan@incarnation-sr.org. Also, a reminder - Claire will want to come to church during the summer, but she's not on duty - so please refrain from asking work-related questions if you see her (this actually is true year-round, but especially when she's on leave.
