Roaring Twenties

On September 25, Jack London State Historic Park came alive with Charmian’s Wild Call, a semiannual gala and fundraising event that gave an affectionate nod to Jack London’s wife, Charmian. More than 320 guests attended the 1920s-themed event, which raised $550,000 for the nonprofit Jack London Park Partners. Liz Fisher, gala chair, said, “Their love for the park was beautifully expressed in their attendance and support.”

Autumn Blooming

On Friday, September 17, the Marin Art and Garden Center celebrated the start of autumn with the much-anticipated Harvest Dinner Fundraiser. With 165 attendees — traveling from all over Marin and San Francisco to attend — and $100,000 raised in support of the public programs, the event was a smashing success.

All About the Pies

Pies are rarely the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving table spread, but at Dee’s Organic Catering we put pies center stage. This holiday season, we will be baking made-fromscratch pumpkin, apple and pecan pies for your next holiday feast. Gluten-free crust options are available so everyone at your table can enjoy and indulge. Preordering begins November 1. Make sure to order yours quickly since they sell out every year. We are still taking reservations for Covid-safe holiday parties. Give us a call and let us help plan your next holiday festivity. All pies will be pick-up–only from our downtown San Rafael location beginning Monday, November 22. Place your order through our website or reach out on Facebook (Dee’s Organic Catering) or Instagram (@deesorganics).
