In Honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American pastor, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs.

Warm Wishes

This past weekend COMAEA members Meloni Page (pictured), D’Angelo Paillet and Joy Keys participated in preparing backpacks for the homeless with Warm Wishes. These Marin County employees were just a few of the over 300 volunteers who help prepare around 5000 backpacks. The backpacks consisted of essential items needed to remain warm this winter season.  The backs all contained hats, scarves, socks, rain ponchos and gloves.  The gloves were donated to the Warm Wishes foundation by the SF 49ers and contained the team’s logo on them.  

Thank you to the COMAEA members for giving your time to a worthy cause. Kudos!

Team of the Quarter! (Housing Element Workshop Facilitators)

Congratulations to LaDell Dangerfield, III (Public Defender) and D'Angelo Paillet (Health & Human Services).  The two men were recognized for being part of the 28 member group that was awarded Team of the Quarter by Marin County's Board of Supervisors.  La Dell and D'Angelo along with the other members of their group helped to facilitate a series of workshops dealing with the Housing Element in Marin County.  The workshops were designed to bring awareness to the need for affordable housing in Marin at all income levels,  allow the public to sit in the seat of the decision-makers, and to listen and share different perspectives around the housing topic.

Congratulations and thank you to these two men and their team for volunteering their time and professionalism to this very important topic.
