Fairfax Recreation just finished celebrating its 10th anniversary summer of Camp Fairfax. It has been so gratifying to be able to offer affordable camp options for families over the past decade. We’re reflecting on all that we have created, remarking on how fast it’s gone – and, of course, thinking of all we still must build.

And, BUILDING is exactly what is ahead. The Parks and Recreation Commission is making progress on the Peri Park renovations. We created the base site map, recruited an architect to help place the design concepts into the map and are getting ready for cost analysis and approval. Please refer to page 11 to get more details and definitely don’t forget to DONATE to this beloved resource.

Once we get to December, please don’t forget about our Fairfax Holiday Craft Faire on 7th and our Holiday Caroling and Wreath-making on the 8th.

Alas, we bring you the pages ahead feeling full, grateful and energized. We hope you enjoy some special moments this fall participating in your community.

It’s up to volunteers, like you, to maintain the park and make sure it stays fresh and clean for generations to come. As parents and caretakers we are focused on enhancing the park by addressing various safety issues as well as adding practical beautification and enjoyment features.

In the last several months, the Parks and Recreation Commission has accomplished the following: • Secured Measure A funds • Hired a surveyor to create a site map of Peri Park • Secured volunteer designer and hired architect to help place the design concepts into site map • Secured Pacific Playgrounds as vendor to purchase events for the structure

Our next steps are to get cost estimates on the full project and finalize the design so we can present our proposal to PARC. If approved, the proposal will then go to Town Council for final review and approval.

WE still need community Involvement to make this a success!• Donate to our go fund me campaign – www.gofundme.com/peripark• Contact Maria Baird at [email protected] and join us at our monthly meetings • Buy a Peri Park tee shirt or tote bag from Anne Mannes: [email protected]• Come to our clean ups – next one is Saturday, October 26th

Public Art in the Parkade - is a rotating art exhibit that was created in 2017 by the Fairfax Parks & Recreation Commission (PARC). Originally brought to the Park & Rec by “Peaceman”, a local artist who had the idea of showing public art in the downtown venue, the exhibit has evolved into showcasing a different artist every three months. Each applicant comes before the Parks & Recreation Commission with photos of their artwork, which PARC considers for approval and then schedules for display downtown.

Fairfax Theater Company - (FTC) is a grass roots, non-profit community theatre company that evolved from the former Fairfax Players. Since we were established in 2008 we have produced first rate entertainment for the community—everything from Shakespeare to original musicals. We draw on the wealth of talent in our town and represent all age groups within the performing arts. FTC partners with the town every year utilizing the Pavilion facilities to bring the community a summer play.

wildfire safety TIPS

We all want to be prepared in case of a wildfire. Here are some safety tips from Fire Safe Marin:

1) Make sure you’re signed up at AlertMarin.org to receive wildfire and other emergency notifications affecting ALL addresses of concern to you: home, parents, children, business.

2) Clear debris from roof & gutters. Remove shrubs under windows and tree limbs within 8 feet of ground. Cover house vents with 1/8” screen. Clear brush within 30-100 feet. Keep driveways clear. (See links below for defensible space details.)

3) For insurance, take photos of everything in your house, especially important items, and store the photos at another location. Uploading to the cloud works fine, if you use a cellphone or digital camera. So does a thumbdrive in a safe deposit. Remember to review your insurance policy to determine if you have the appropriate amount of insurance to rebuild after a fire. Re-building costs are averaging over $500 sq ft in the North Bay.

4) Assemble valuables and essentials - such as jewelry, hard-to-replace documents, and medications - in a carry-case or collapsible crate so you can grab it in a minute on your way out the door, in the dark.

5) Prepare an emergency “Go Bag” and keep it near the door. If you have a pet, keep the pet carrier or a folding crate there, too. Include pet food and medications in your safety plan. When evacuating, keep pets in a carrier or on the leash.

6) Plan and practice: What to take, where to meet, your contact person outside Marin. When instructed to leave, aim to be on the road within 5 minutes. If NOT instructed to leave, there’s a public safety reason. Stay inside and do not panic.

The more you know, the safer you’ll be. You’ll find a full-range of expert info at www.firesafemarin.org.
