U.S.Citizenship Class 

This week, we started our 18th semester-long citizenship class, a free service for those interested in getting help to prepare for their naturalization interviews. Classes are entirely in English, for 40+ people from many different countries. A melting pot on site!   

 

Simple Acts Help Others 

Chateau Diana (Healdsburg) and owner Cory Manning and family have been supporters of the Family Support Center (FSC) in so many ways over the years.

 Manning Family - Chateau Diana

Chateau Diana staff brings "home-grown" produce throughout the growing season to FSC, but Cory doesn't stop there. He also helps cook for the residents. And each year they Gift from Chateau Diana buy Christmas gifts for the children from a detailed list...and the children open presents of their dreams! We thank Chateau Diana and everyone in the community who helps in so many ways.  

 

This is just one example of ongoing community collaboration that ensures a safety net for families. We'll profile other business partners in future issues.    

With gratitude, on behalf of those we serve,
