| Thu 5/01 to Sat 5/31 | Judy Cascarano Memorial Fund and Search for Probate Attorney Judy Cascarano was a long time Sonoma County employee with the Human Services Department and a Bodega Bay resident. Early on the morning of Wednesday April 23, while on her way to work she was hit by a van that crossed over the double yellow line. Judy was killed in that accident and never made it to work that day. She leaves behind her only child, a daughter, Carrie just 23 years old and her only grandchild Olivia age 2. Carrie is now left without parents or any family, as her dad, Judy’s husband passed away just one year ago. A Memorial Fund in Judy’s name has been set up at Exchange Bank. These funds will be given to Carrie to help with the cost of burial arrangements for her mother. And to help Carrie with living expenses at Judy’s home and for the care of her eight horses over the next couple of months, as she sorts through the maze of paperwork. Unfortunately Judy never changed her beneficiary from her deceased husband, so now it has to go through probate and it is a mess. An attorney wanted $20,000 retainer for his services, but obviously Carrie doesn't have anything. Judy was a warm and caring person who sent her career serving underprivileged member of our community, issuing food stamps and medical benefits. No donation is too small and every bit will help. Donations can be made at any Exchange Bank branch to The Judy Cascarano Memorial Fund Thank you so much on behalf of Carrie and Olivia |

| Thu 5/08 to Sat 5/17 | “The Learned Ladies” Pegasus Theater Company presents “The Learned Ladies” by the French playwright Moliere, the master of the comedy of manners.
