THE COMMUNITY PITCHES IN AT VERNON

About 100 volunteers from Oakland law firm Wendel, Rosen, Black & Dean LLP have spent several weekends hard at work on a new landscaping installation at Clausen House's Vernon Street residence.

The project was coordinated by Rebuilding Together Oakland under the leadership of landscape architect Richard Larson. Donated services were provided by McGuire & Hester.

The Wendel volunteers were joined by Clausen House clients, staff, and board members. Complimentary massages were provided by Darryl Choy, and lunch was donated by Whole Foods.

Many thanks to all the volunteers! Click here to view photos of the RTO project. Click here to see the photo spread in The Registry.

2009 STATE BUDGET CRISIS: Clausen House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives over 80% of its support from the State of California. This year, we need to offset a loss of over $100,000 in state funding by seeking support from individuals and businesses. Use our safe and secure Donations page to make an online donation, or call the Development Office at 510-839-1114.
