10% of sales on every Tuesday in January goes to the YES Foundation, supporting the local Ross Valley School District and funding programs such as music, art, and PE. Especially with the state of the California budget, work that the YES Foundation does is even more critical to our schools.

February 16 – Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT)

Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) was the first land trust in the  United States to focus on farmland preservation. Founded in 1980 by a  coalition of ranchers and environmentalists to preserve farmland in  Marin County, California, MALT acquires agricultural conservation  easements on farmland in voluntary transactions with landowners. MALT  also encourages public policies that support and enhance agriculture.  It is a model for agricultural land preservation efforts across the  nation. MALT has so far permanently protected more than 41,500 acres  of land on 64 family farms and ranches.  For more information visit www.malt.org .

February 23 – San Anselmo Cooperative Nursery School

Founded originally in 1947 as the Fairfax Community Nursery School,  the San Anselmo Co-Op is celebrating its 63nd year in operation.  Except for the faces of the children and their parents, since then  little has changed. The goal of the preschool is to foster physical,  emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual growth in each child.   The school provides a unique experience for families who wish to be  involved in their children’s education and learn alongside them. By  sharing parenting issues, insights, joys and struggles, parents gain a  sense of community with one another and a greater understanding of  their own child’s development. Through their participation, parents  create the kind of school they desire for their children. Their many  talents, strengths and interests provide the energy that fuels the  school. By relying on parent ingenuity, teamwork and labor, we keep  fees low and the school available to a wide spectrum of people.  Find  out more at www.sananselmocoop.com.
