After the Quake

After the Napa earthquake of about 6.1 we heard bad news from our friends in Napa with wine barrels falling down, glass breaking throughout the kitchens, sprinklers going off and flooding some businesses. It was tragic. Thankfully, we in Geyserville were not affected by the quake. We are all still here, standing tall in Geyserville with the art sculpture trail continuing to grow along the highway 128. There are some stunning new pieces to come and enjoy!

As for the quakes: we have over thirty mini earthquakes every single day up in the geysers. Sometimes we feel them, and sometimes we do not, but it's almost always just a mere rumble. Nothing to fret about.

Oriental Community Hall Needs a New Roof

Geyserville Community Foundation's First Fundraising Project

We are Geyserville Community Foundation, a newly formed 501(c)3 non-profit group, that has taken on their first project--the task of raising funds to help Oriental Hall finance a new roof.  The Oriental Community Hall, Inc., owners sought foundation help shortly before the February dinner of the Geyserville Chamber of Commerce.

“One third of the floor was covered with water when I brought in the food on Sunday before the Tuesday dinner,” said Kathy Zunino of the Oriental Hall group, who was helping prepare the Chamber dinner. “Had the rain not stopped, we would have been forced to postpone or cancel the dinner,” she added.  “So far, damage has been minimal,” she concluded.  

Many residents of Geyserville and the surrounding community are familiar with Oriental Community Hall (sometimes called the Grange Hall), located just across the river from downtown Geyserville on Highway 128.  This building, that for many is the heart of Geyserville, began as a one room schoolhouse. It has become the meeting place of the local Geyserville Grange, Geyserville Kiwanis, and the Geyserville Chamber of Commerce, and the place for special private and community events for a very long time. The 100+ year old building is owned and held by Oriental Community Hall, Inc. This non-profit corporation was formed specifically to carry out the wishes of the family who donated both the property and building and wished them to be used for the community as a community hall.  They exist with the express purpose of maintaining the hall and grounds for our community.

The monthly Chamber of Commerce dinners have been a fixture in Geyserville for nearly 40 years. If you have been in Oriental Community Hall lately you may have noticed stains on the ceiling tiles or puddles on the floor due to the recent rains.  While the current drought has allowed OCH, Inc., additional time to raise funds to replace the failing roof, there is more rain coming and now the need is urgent.

The cost of a new roof will be $45,000, and plans are to replace the current roof with one that will last for years.  OCH has already raised $15,000 toward this goal.  In the first week of this project, more than $7,500 in additional funds have been raised for this project, coming from Geyserville, Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, San Rafael, and San Francisco.  While the early response is encouraging, there is still a long way to go to meet the goal of $45,000.  The Geyserville Community Foundation is asking for your help. Please consider making a donation to this cause.  

This is Our Hall--Geyserville's Hall. Help us keep it available for our school and children's events, weddings, memorial services, special family birthday and anniversary celebrations, and our community group meetings.

Please send your tax deductible donation, marked "HALL ROOF" (in the memo section of your check) to:
