“Being the AVA's treasurer for several years prior to the Kincade Fire brings back fond memories of not only helping the organization with its basic accounting tasks, but also getting to know the other board members some of whom have become life-long friends. Neighbors who work together to help build a vibrant community create an ongoing important organization for those to come!”

-Kathy Monson, Past Board Member & Treasurer of Alexander Valley Association
