sonomacountyfocussquare591924

Host Michelle Marques talks with Andrew Bailey, Founder and CEO of Anova Center for Education in Santa Rosa. Anova is a school serving students on the autism spectrum. In October 2017, the Tubbs Fire swept through large portions of Sonoma County, destroying thousands of structures, including the Anova campus at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts. A capital campaign was started in 2019 to rebuild a new center, with over half of the funds collected so far. They have an additional $9-million to $10-million to raise to complete the project. The new campus will serve as a national model for educational and behavioral innovation.  You can support their efforts by visiting rebuildanaova.org

Host Michelle Marques talks with Kevin Wodlinger, President of North Bay Honor Flight, about our new local chapter of Honor Flights. The Honor Flight non-profit organization was established in 2005 with a powerful vision: to fly World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit their memorial and other significant memorials in the city. This is a powerful experience, giving our vets a chance to reflect and share their memories with other veterans, and get the heroes welcome they deserve. Donations and volunteers are needed to help make the first Honor Flight (planned for October 2024) possible, so please reach out to learn more and help if you can!
