"Work to become, not to acquire." - Elbert Hubbard

Special thanks this time go to Keith Kaulum who has just completed four years as Group Chair. Vital and involved, Keith has been a active and knowledgeable leader. We are grateful for the hours, the sweat and every single letter he has given to the Sierra Club! Another ExCom'mer, none of us can know the boundless devotion Len Swenson has given our community over the years. One man who has done so much to form our group with his dedication. Through his committee work, endless meetings and personal contact, he has made the Sierra Club a visible anchor in Sonoma County. I thank these people and the countless others who do their part to make this a better world.
