Update from Lisa Brinkmann, Executive Director
What's New?

Did you know that Marin Villages will celebrate it's 10th year as a nonprofit organization this year!!!

Yes, it's true. We were officially incorporated in May 2009 as one of the first, if not first, Villages organized to serve the entire County (vs. an individual community). Our hub and spoke model serves to address the local needs of each of our communities, while eliminate duplication of efforts. We are able to leverage our resources - financial, human and goodwill - to better fulfill our mission of empowering old adults to remain active, connected and independent in the place they call home.

Thank you to all the members, volunteers and donors who have believed in our mission and supported it as we've grown and evolved.
— Lisa Brinkmann, executive director, Marin Villages

Are you Ready?
The devastation from the Camp Fire is only now being discovered, but one thing that many that we know is that you can never be "too" ready for a disaster. Seniors, in particular, seem to be especially hard hit.

There are steps you can take to prepare, so that if a major fire, earthquake or other emergency strikes, you know that you have done all you can to plan for it and the aftermath.

Ready Marin is Marin County's source for information on emergency preparedness, whether you are just starting or an experienced emergency volunteer.

Its mission is to provide guidance, training and resources to keep you and your family safe during an emergency, whether it requires you to evacuate or shelter in place. You will find information and links to resources, checklists, and training opportunities. Let's get prepared.

Access to these valuable tools, plans and checklists at readymarin.org
