Website Changes |

 As you can see we have changed the look of our website. We have also upgraded our backend Content Management System to better serve our members. Some functions have been added (like the Blog), some have changed (like the Archives) and some have been deleted (like the online member application). The most notable enhancement is the added interactivity: Now you cannot only contribute content to the website but also use the Blog feature to discuss issues that concern the Valley. Also you can comment on most articles. In our new FAQ (frequently Asked Questions) section you will find helpful advice about the DCVA membership and how to use our website.
Due to a change in our database structure we had to reset the passwords for our registered user accounts. In order to log in you'll have to use the 'Lost password?' feature in the USER REGISTRATION module to recover/reset your password. We apologize for the inconvenience. |

|
|
|
 Can’t make it to France this year? Not to worry! Join members and their guests at the DCVA Annual Picnic and Potluck to be held in the shaded grounds of Lou and Susan Preston’s farm and winery in the heart of Dry Creek Valley (at 9282 W. Dry Creek Road). Fun begins at 3 p.m. with the 23rd annual Dry Creek Zin taste-off, this year featuring amateur zinfandel. The second annual Bread bake-off will be held at 10 a.m. to make sure the bread is ready to consume for dinner. YUM!
While BBQ Chicken and hot dogs will be supplied, you will be asked to bring a main dish, salad, or bake biscotti for dessert. In keeping with our green philosophy we ask you to bring your own plates/utensils, wine glasses, and a bottle of wine to share.
 Tickets will be $14 for adults, $7 for kids 6-12, with those 5 and under and 80 and over free. For now, put August 24th on your calendar and look for further information.
If you would like to volunteer please contact:
Yael Bernier 707-433-3272.

Legacy Fund: Interview with Richard Kagel |

Richard Kagel and the Legacy Fund
By Lou Preston
This Thursday I interviewed Richard Kagel on his vision for the Dry Creek Legacy Fund. DCVA Board Member Kagel is the Fund's instigator, innovator, and implementer. This memo is to tell what it and he are all about. If you have browsed this website you already know that Dry Creek Valley is in trouble. As Richard puts it, we are in the crosshairs of individuals and agencies that hope to capitalize on our resources. In the past it was gravel. Today it is water and its brooding flip side, waste water.
