Congratulations are in order for Kellie Lind, who has recently been elected to the Vice-President position on our Board.

Unfortunately, there are also times when we say our good-byes to other members of our Board who move on after years of service to our community. Thank you Darlene Hemmerlin and Doug Ermshar for your dedication and years of service to the Community Council and to the town of Angwin. You will be missed.

Council Thanks Fire Fighters and EMT's

Quentin White, Jennifer Klingbeil, Avery Browne

Every year, the Community Council honors our Angwin Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance services. These brave men and women rush to the scene of a tragedy at all hours of the night and day. The most amazing part of that is the fact that they perform this duty without pay. Our Angwin volunteer force donates up to 15,000 hours a year in training, exercises and actual calls. We are so proud to live in a town that has such a high-rate of community service and dedication.

Fire Chief, Avery Browne inspires his team to give back to their community through example. He is pictured to the right, thanking the Piner's for leading him to community service by their example. The Community Council, Fire Department and Ambulance would like to thank Piner's Ambulance for being part of our lives and our neighborhood for so many years.

The Angwin Community Council is the governing board of the Volunteer Fire Department. Our fund-raising efforts help fund ongoing operational costs of this department, which is only partially subsidized by the County.  In this tough economy, when states and some counties are going bankrupt, we are surviving thanks to your donations and support. We are proud of both our Fire Department and Angwin Volunteer Ambulance Company and hope you will continue to support the services we help provide in our neighborhood.

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 Scam Targets Seniors 

(NAPA, California) Over the past month, many residents (especially in the Angwin area), have been the target of several scams. These scams tend to target seniors, and are generally referred to as the “Jamaican Lottery”, the “Canadian Lottery”, and the “Grandma, I am in jail, can you please send me money” scams.  

One woman who spoke to the Sheriff’s Office said she had received six of the lottery letters, where people then called and offered to meet her at her residence and drive her to the bank. Another woman had received calls from a man she believed to be her grandson. Her “grandson” asked her to wire several thousand dollars to him so he could get out of jail. She wired the money, and several days later was attempting to wire more money to her “grandson” when the store clerk stopped her and called the Sheriff’s Office. These two incidents are not isolated and are merely an example of the type of stories that the crooks are telling their victims.

This type of crime is difficult to investigate; often leaving the victims embarrassed and permanently deprived of their money.

Always verify that it is indeed a relative you are speaking with before sending any money. Also, it is rare that a legitimate “lottery” type business would require you to send thousands of dollars in order to collect your winnings.

Angwin Community Festival -2011

Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting our Angwin Community Council's annual fund-raiser. Our Flea Market, Car Show and new Art show had a fantastic turnout, helping raise money and awareness for our awesome Volunteer Fire Department.

Under the leadership of Chief Avery Browne, our Angwin Volunteer Fire Department has created programs that have been adopted by other fire departments throughout the state of California and beyond. We are so proud to have this elite group of highly-trained officers and volunteers looking after our community. Thank you again for all your hard work!

From our center stage at the festival, we enjoyed the lively music of the Rhythm Cats, through a generous donation from Comcast. Due to a recent partnership between Comcast and Pacific Union College, the town of Angwin has benefited from upgraded high-speed cable Internet services. We were honored to welcome Dr. Heather Knight, Supervisor Dillon and Congressman Thompson to our stage to celebrate this milestone.

These are the types of services and partnerships that Angwin Community Council is honored to be a part of. We look for ways to make our community a better place to live. We hope that this service will give our local businesses the ability to compete in a demanding marketplace, where people demand products and services at a click of a button.

The date for next year's event has not been finalized yet, but we shoot for the third Sunday in May. Pencil us in on your calendars and we hope to see you around that time next year. Until then, here is a video from 2011, Angwin Community Festival. Enjoy!

Welcome to our Blog

Welcome to our blogspot. Welcome to the next generation of communication in Angwin. We thought this would be a great way to communicate with you, local residents and business owners in this small community, to find out what people are thinking. What can we do to make you life better up here on this hill? At the Community Council, we work at providing these services. But we want and need your input.

Sign up today for our blog, become a subscriber and we can keep in touch with you about what's really going on in town. We don't have an official newspaper in town, so we generally rely on word of mouth or the Angwin Reporter. But some of us still want more immediate gratification.

If you're out there, check in and say hey. Let us know what's on your mind:)
