The Redwoods, A Community of Seniors in Mill Valley, Is Hosting a Fun-Filled Afternoon on Sunday, May 18th at 3pm
The Redwoods, A Community of Seniors, is hosting a fun-filled afternoon on Sunday, May 18th at 3pm. And here’s a bonus: Kids 12 and under get in for free — so it’s a great event for the whole family! Co-chairs Caroline Joachim and Wendy Nichols invite you to join us for a family “fun-raiser” in the garden with live music from Susan Z and The Winding Road, and The Redwoods’ own Rock the Ages choir. We’ll have delicious fare that all ages will enjoy from Stacey Scott Catering, with signature cocktails, beer, wine and lemonade, as well as activities for kids and adults, including cornhole, foosball, a photo booth, face painting, and balloon art.

The Friends of the Library are looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to lend a hand in the Friends Bookstore. The task involves carefully packing overstocked books into sturdy bankers boxes, loading them onto a cart (each box weighs around 30 pounds), transferring the packed boxes to another location in the Bookstore, and then stacking them neatly. This should take about 1 to 2 hours, 1 or 2 days a week. If you’re interested, reach out to Friends board member Jim Derich at jim.derich@friendsmvl.org.
