In the aftermath of the devastating Almeda Drive Fire of Tuesday 8-Sep-2020, the collective membership of the SOCD Board of Directors wishes to express their deepest sympathies & support for our entire community.
If you have any needs not being met by established relief efforts that you think the SOCD Board can help with, please communicate that via one or more of the options listed on our website’s Contact Page.
We especially encourage our Contra Dance Community members to check in with us and let us know how you are doing, what your status is, etc. You may use our Web Contact Page for private communication, or our Facebook Page if you wish to make a public statement to the community.
While the long-term effects of this catastrophic event will take a long time to fully realize, it is through collective efforts & support of the entire community that we will all be able to heal and grow.
We are first & foremost about Building Community
