Dash and Dine for the Schools

A 5K/10K Walk/Run for Novato High's Safe & Sober Grad Night is coming up, along with other school fundraisers

The Novato High School’s Safe & Sober Grad Night are sponsoring a 5K/10K walk on St. Patrick’s Day, Sunday, March 17. The race begins and ends in the Hamilton Hangars parking lot between Hangars 3 and 5.

 Not much of a runner/walker? No problem. You can still support the cause by dining at Pasta Pomodoro the night before, Saturday, March 16, and 20% of your bill will be donated to Safe & Sober Grad Night. The cost for the run is $30 for the 5K and $50 for the 10K.

Grab your teammates, grab your family or just grab like-minded folks you see on the street and register to walk or run and help support the folks who work toward keeping the Novato High graduates safe and sober. Can’t register in advance? You can register late, at slightly higher costs, at Pasta Pomodoro on the 16th. The registration form and the flier for Pasta Pomodoro have been uploaded.

In the run-up to the run -- pun intended -- there's a barbecue from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pini Hardware this Sunday, March 10. Plenty of ways to help the cause!

*****

Other schools have fundraisers coming up as well. This Tuesday, March 12, drop by for a bite at the Left Coast Depot. Mike Garcia and Nicole Archibald Garcia, Olive Elementary parents and owners of Left Coast Depot, are donating proceeds to Olive that day.

*****

On Wednesday, March 20, you can dine all day at California Grill & Rotisserie and support Loma Verde Elementary by putting your receipt in the designated jar. A portion of all proceeds go to the school.

*****

Mark your calendars for the big 2013 Tour of Novato and FunFair, which will take place on Saturday, May 4. All of the schools are putting together their riding and walking teams, so pick one or two or three to support, and support them all by sponsoring a School Fuel team member. Check out the Tour's website for the early scoop.

Excellent---"for going the extra mile for others." Service Above Self isRead More Rotary....Excellent!

Ventress Totally understand your frustration. I continue to email Jim and use the button at theRead More bottom of the front page to send comments about problems with the new format to the tech team. I suspect they don't care unless they are made to care. Brent really took Patch to heart and responded to every person as if they were all important. That is part of what made him such an exceptional editor. So far Jim has contacted me twice, once to chastise my use of the word terrorist and then to correct my spelling of Pat Eklund's name. I added a "c". I am not sure how to bridge the gap with the new guys but have not given up entirely due to the encouragement from Pete and Joe. They have renewed my belief that the news is for everyone and we mustn't allow trolls to take over.

Ventress , Common sense tells you if you block your e mail address you will receive nothing . TheRead More trolls have not taken over as they have just put people like you out of business with your phony stories . Why do we need to keep reading your crying when you say you are gone ? Please take your friends with you as the regular readers do not want your garbage

Moylans has always been there for us. They rock! They also provided the brew for my biz openingRead More party and they are an important part of Novato.

Thankful for Moylan's Brewing, and their commitment to the community. Support locally owned businessRead More first in Novato.

Where's the daily/weekly weather report? It used to be at the top of the front page? I really likedRead More reviewing it with just a glance.

This new site is great . I wonder if the Posters who wanted to run the old Patch site with allRead More the phony garbage/ postings are sneaking a peak to see a new / better patch . They all complained and said they will quit if not changed back. Guess what folks We have always told you if you want change you need to get out of your computers face and take action . We did just that and look at our reward, A new site for regular people who have common sense .. Thank You Patch

What is going on here
Craig Belfor May 18, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, andRead More pressure is put out to stifle stories. That's what the tobacco industry did to 60 Minutes, and the Isreli government did to the Goldberg Report. The United Nations couldn't put out the story of mass genocide of the Palestinian people, and we'll be kicked off the blog soon because we don't advertise.

Craig I thought I was being overly suspicious but the new site eliminated months of research andRead More commentary and has replaced it with irrelevant banter and Ads. It won't even let you edit thoughts into smaller blocks or comment directly to another post. It is the ultimate dumbing down of Patch. If you have been following the Plan Bay Area debate here is a link to the response from the Supervisor's: http://www.marincounty.org/Main/~/media/Files/MarinGov/Board%20Actions/20130514CDAPlanBayArea-LTR.pdf There is also a presentation by the Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area: Is it good for the region? Is it good for Marin? Calendar: Novato Community Alliance Title: Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area Date: 30.05.2013 18:30 - 20:30 Location: Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael " A forum sponsored by the Marin Economic Forum on the Plan Bay Area will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 30th in the Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael. Panelists will be Plan Bay Area proponents Marin Supervisor Steve Kinsey; Napa County Supervisor Mark Luce, president of ABAG; and critics Randal O'Toole of the Cato Institute, author of "Gridlock"; and Thomas Rubin, an Oakland-based transportation consultant and former chief financial officer of the Southern California Rapid Transit District. Moderator will be Marin Superior Court Judge Verna Adams. Admission is free."

We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they justRead More erased our history. Now we have to start defending our town all over again, while they are already in gear. Some of the opponants of AH can't get on anymore. Brent would not have allowed this to happen. Maybe that's why he left so suddenly, and unexpectedly.
