At this time Doran Beach is the only location for Sonoma, Marin, and Mendocino Counties.  "Hands Across the Sand" will be a great opportunity to meet with like-minded folks.

This is a great event to show your support for energy alternatives, no offshore drilling, and your commitment to our coast. Please bring a bag, or two, or three to pick up trash.

Thank you!!
