THE CEDARS OF MARIN offers a high quality of life to persons with developmental disabilities in order to foster independence, defend dignity, and realize each person’s full potential. Interim Director Leverages Cedars' Strengths
"I’ve been so impressed with the quality of the relationships that have been the hallmark of The Cedars' history," Greene said, "as well as the unparalleled day programs that are lauded by all." To strengthen Cedars' residential care and home programming, Greene is leveraging the wisdom of Debbie Levy, former Executive Director of Lifehouse, a premier organization which, like Cedars, provides residential care for adults with developmental disabilities in Marin County, California.
"Hands and Earth" TAC Program Takes Root
With staff support, clients of the Textile Art Center's day program are launching their own business growing and selling flower bulbs. Thus far, they've researched and purchased thousands of tulip and daffodil bulbs wholesale, stored them in a donated refrigerator, planted the bulbs in pots, and built a makeshift greenhouse to protect them. Cedars of Marin board member Margie Ellis donated two Meyer lemon trees, which have since been planted. If they do well, lemons could be the next product.
Clients and Staff to Prepare Menus
The preparation of wholesome meals is not only critical to our physical health; the whole process of purchasing fresh ingredients and preparing food, in community, can benefit us in a multitude of ways. The Cedars is proud to announce the arrival of a new team member, Mark Spilsbury, who will assist both staff and residents on the Ross campus to procure fresh food from local sources, plan nutritious menus, and prepare appetizing meals.
