A potluck at the Dance Palace Community Center will help families of two Point Reyes Station residents impacted by the Camp Fire in Paradise, Calif. rebuild their lives. The gathering was created “to have people come together and support at whatever level they think they can,” said organizer Jennifer McFarland. Arron Wilder, owner of Tabletop Farms, and Leah Fritts, who works for a fragrance company, have family members who lost homes, vehicles and a lifetime’s worth of possessions in the November fire. Ms. Fritts’s father Michael, owner of the Golden Feather Tea Company, lived southeast of Paradise, in Yankee Hill, along with his wife, Donna. They lost their house, barn and a quarter of their tea plants. Ms. Fritts’s brother, Brice Fritts, and their 93-year-old grandmother also lost their homes. Ms. Fritts said her family is taking the rebuilding process “one day at a time.” “I think at this point the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the cleanup effort and stabilizing them financially,” she said. “Aside from their insurance, there’s not a lot of expendable income for them, so every little bit helps.” Mr. Wilder’s father and stepmother, Gary Wilder and Clarisse Connor, lived in Paradise at the time of the fire. Their home, vehicles and a building that housed both their counseling office and antique store were all incinerated when they fled in Ms. Connor’s car, with no time to rescue anything but their dogs. “Everything was pretty much gone, a lot of sentimental things that he had since he was a boy,” Mr. Wilder said. “It’s been pretty hard on him.” The couple is currently relying on relief payments from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and trying to figure out what steps to take next. “The hardest thing is just to continue to pay whatever bills they have, because they don’t have much income right now—little things like groceries and gas and car insurance,” Mr. Wilder said. Ms. McFarland emphasized that the potluck is a chance for anyone in the community to lend a helping hand and contribute what they can from their pocketbook. “If you’re not a cook, bring some vegetables, bring some cheese,” she said. “Five dollars can make a big difference.” The potluck starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26; a main course of lasagna will be provided and Danny Vitali and Friends will play acoustic music. RSVP is requested by Jan. 23 to Danielle at (415) 663.1075 or [email protected].
