PURPOSE -

The purpose for which this organization is formed is to promote and protect the welfare and interests of Sonoma County retired employees in all ways compatible with the public interest.

The methods for attaining these objectives shall be to monitor all actions at federal, state and county levels that might affect our members; join and/or support other organizations formed for similar purposes; create and foster favorable public sentiment; support legislation and/or local resolutions deemed beneficial and oppose those deemed detrimental to the interests of its members or sound government; and disseminate pertinent information to members.

The Association may also perform such other acts and provide such benefits and services as are consistent with its primary purpose.

Your SCARE Board of Directors sincerely hopes that this web site will add a new dimension to our communications with members. In addition to being able to post general information that members can access at any time, it allows us to post urgent news that occurs between our newsletters and General Membership Meetings.
