This is a critical window for homeowners and residents to voice opinions, raise specific environmental or safety considerations, and submit feedback that will become part of the official public record.

MCCNA Kick-Off Meeting Launch Draws Strong Community Support
– May 13, 2026
More than 100 residents gathered at Good Shepherd Lutheran School for the inaugural meeting of the Marin Country Club Neighborhood Association, marking an exciting step toward building stronger neighborhood connections and community engagement. Residents heard from founders and board members about how years of neighborhood advocacy and a desire for stronger community connections inspired the creation of the association, as well as its mission to bring neighbors together, improve communication, and address shared concerns. The evening also highlighted priorities including emergency preparedness, fire prevention, traffic concerns, community communications, and future social activities — with many residents signing up to participate and bringing total membership to 67.
The evening featured presentations from neighborhood organizers, community leaders, and special guests Fire Chief Dan Peters and Fire Marshal Lynne Osgood, who shared practical guidance on wildfire prevention, defensible space, and community safety initiatives. With committees forming and activities already being planned, the MCCNA is building momentum as a new voice for neighborhood connection and collaboration — and all residents are invited to be part of it.
