Vivalon

Our members have been enjoying unforgettable outdoor outings with naturalist Susan.

Recent trips have taken participants to China Camp State Park and Samuel P. Taylor State Park. Participants say having this opportunity is truly a gift, and Susan’s knowledge and passion as a naturalist make each trip even more meaningful.

Today’s adventure included two incredible participants—ages 97 and 94! And we’re excited that our next outing will welcome a participant who uses a wheelchair, continuing our commitment to making these experiences accessible and inclusive for everyone.

Thank you to the Drew Murphy Foundation for making moments like these possible. 💙🌲

Such a great day at the first annual Rotary Epic Day of Service for Older Adults at Children's Island, Marin Center in San Rafael last Saturday, May 16.

We loved seeing so many neighbors stop by to connect with local resources, ask questions, and spend time in community.

Thanks to the Rotary Clubs of Marin County for bringing everyone together—and to everyone who came out to say hello to Vivalon and the many partners supporting older adults across Marin.

Here are a few moments from the day 💚
