Open House at the Monte Rio Community Center - July 1-4

The Friends of Monte Rio, who brought you this year’s Easter Egg Hunt, together with The Monte Rio Recreation & Park District, have been joined by The Russian River Historical Society and The Russian River Photo Club to bring you a July 4th weekend Open House at the MRRPD Community Center. We will be distributing hundreds of maps of the Monte Rio environs, those parts walking distance from the beach.
On the map we give details of guided tours being provided in the weekend afternoons. You can also use the maps to take self-guided tours and find your way to the community gardens: the new creekside garden by the amphitheater and recently refurbished tennis courts; as well as the classic riverside garden.

The Russian River Historical Society will be displaying photographs and memorabilia from along the Russian River in its “hey day,” of hotels, railroads, entertainment venues and fully functioning communities.

The recently formed Russian River Photo Club, led by Tabitha Deering, www.tabithadeeringphotography.com and Domenic Farnocchia (domenic@russianriverphotoclub.com , will be displaying more current day photographs from along the Russian River. This will be the first public showing from this nascent group and they will be looking for a warm reception and hoping to attract new members into this low-key community art group.
Praxis Architects will be displaying the community consensus plans for redevelopment of the Monte Rio “Old School” along the Bohemian Highway a few blocks out of town. These plans will show a skate park for the young; extensive landscaping and community service points for the mature; and a gateway to an extensive trail system for millennials.
The Monte Rio Recreation & Park group will be highlighting its wide-ranging facilities, ideal for small business retreats, family reunions, weddings, and in general any group from 10-100, looking for a quiet, scenic setting, minutes away from ocean, forests, and vineyards.
The Friends of Monte Rio is sponsoring this event: we will be leading the tours and providing docents in the Center. We are always in search of others to help with these events: either financially or with their time during the event &/or thoughts in helping planning the events. Please contact Rhian Miller (865-9579) or Peter Andrews (865-9517), if you can help out. These events are all put on completely though community efforts.
