Hoedown Fer Cornerstone - Square Dance & Silent Auction

Our second annual Square Dance & Silent Auction fun-raiser is set for Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Strawberry Recreation Center in Mill Valley at 118 E. Strawberry Drive.

Please purchase your tickets in advance as this event is sure to sell out.  Tickets are $25 per person, or $200 for a square of eight. Ticket price includes refreshments and desserts.  Beer and wine will be available for sale.

"Modern" square dancing is loads of fun and our caller, Steve Minkin, will easily teach you how to do-si-do with the best of them.  Western wear is encouraged (but casual dress is fine) and remember to wear yer dancin' shoes.  Prizes will be given for Best-Dressed Cowgirl and Cowboy!

Donations to the Silent Auction are greatly appreciated - contact Jan Ryssemus at jnrysse@pacbell.net.  Prepare to bid for art, fine wines, dining, and adventurous activities!

A Day at the Races

For the past 19 years, Nancy Smith, Cornerstone Board Member, has generously donated her time by organizing our successful annual "Day at the Races" fundraiser.

Marin Human Race

The "Marin Human Race" is a wonderful collaborative fundraising event for Marin County's nonprofit organizations.  On Saturday, May 8, 2010, an enthusiastic group of our residents and staff members will be walking the 5K course around the Marin Center Lagoon to raise money for our organization.  Please come out and support Marin's nonprofit community!

Join the Board of Directors

Meetings are held six times a year, generally on the third Tuesday of the month at Cornerstone's administrative office. The Board is responsible for governing the organization; participating in fundraising activities; supporting the agency by making an investment of personal experience, skills, and knowledge; and advocating for the developmentally disabled population.

Donate

We are grateful for monetary contributions, which help us provide quality care for our clients, training for employees, and maintenance for our homes. Cornerstone Community Homes, formerly known as Exodus, Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, and donations are tax deductible.

You may also help us through the donation of goods or services. Our residents would love to receive arts and crafts supplies, games, puzzles, videotapes, DVDs, or gift cards. We occasionally have a need for sturdy wood furniture such as end or coffee tables, nightstands, dressers or chairs (with no upholstery), and other household items in good, working condition.
