We’re jumping into the new year with fresh leadership, big-hearted community energy, and plenty of ways to stay connected and involved. In this issue, meet your newly reorganized City Council and leadership team, take a look back at the joy and generosity of our Holiday Toy Drive, and get practical guidance on preparing for winter storms, including where to pick up sandbags if you need them. You’ll also find volunteer opportunities, helpful community resources for housing, food, mental health, and family support, and a few very cute furry friends who are still waiting for their forever homes. It’s a hopeful, grounded start to the year that reflects what makes Rohnert Park special: people showing up for each other.
