Sewn Together with Creativity and Purpose For almost a quarter-century, Mendocino Coast Children's Fund has pieced together an inclusive community "quilt" of concern and responsibility. Its actions stitch together the needs and intentions of many people of unique abilities, beliefs, and political backgrounds. Peaceful "togethering," with love and respect, for the benefit of a common cause—caring for our most vulnerable coastal children— is a model for peaceably and effectively living together.

Resilience and Cooperation “There’s this national narrative in the mainstream media One of the most remarkable things about living in a rural that we are a country divided by our political beliefs: left or community such as the Mendocino Coast, which is hours away right, blue or red. But our community is not defined by political from Big City resources, is that the people here come from rhetoric, it is defined by the goodwill of the people who live here, a long tradition of self-reliance. Many people still grow their and at the heart of this lies what’s most important: doing right own food, chop and stack their own wood, forage, hunt, and by our children and each other. What we are able to accomplish fish off the land—skills handed down by their parents and is a direct result of the generosity, resourcefulness, and kindness grandparents before them. It is this traditional reliance on of the people who live here.

Or maybe it’s not a natural disaster, but a catastrophic illness of a parent or child, an unexpected layoff, a family car going belly up, that causes a crisis. The There When Tragedy Strikes demographic spread of Mendocino County runs the gamut from the very wealthy to the working In October of 2012 a wildfire swept through the community of Comptche, seventeen miles inland poor and homeless. Many people work two and three jobs and might still be just one missed from the Mendocino Coast.

So, while as individuals we are largely self-reliant, comparison to the cool, damp coast, boasts temperatures that can swelter into the triple digits a huge part of our autonomy as a community has to do with taking care of one another, with during summer and fall.

There is a misperception at times that students who are “non-traditional learners” aren’t as gifted as their peers with higher GPAs, but this isn’t true. “I believe everyone is born with their own unique talents and gifts, and as educators, it’s our job to help students home in on what interests them and facilitate learning from there. Some kids are simply not able to sit still at a desk for an entire school day, going to class after class. But you get them involved with a hands-on project, say building a remote control car, and suddenly they are focused and passionate about what they are doing. We try to assess how our students learn and then get them involved in projects that engage their interest.” Many of the students who go through the Alternative Education program are from single-parent ABOVE: Having a real office, which MCCF shares with Congressman Jared Huffman in the oldest building in Fort homes, where the primary parent is working two or three jobs to provide for their children, and Bragg, for the Children's Fund is a dream-come-true.

Belli continues, “A lot of our kids, for MCCF Director Annie Liner recalls the night the Flynn Creek Fire broke out when word of a family Quilt of Community – Continued on Page 5 losing its home came in. “Our phones were ringing off the hook with people who had heard news of what happened and wanted to know how they could help. I think our role was to organize the generosity of the community so it didn't overwhelm the family and to provide effective and Here are Mccf's current practical guidance and emotional support. The husband, wife, and their kids showed incredible grace and bravery. It was an honor to harness all that community love so they could move forward.” Now four years later the family has rebuilt and largely recovered, their children thriving in school. “We try not dwell on what was lost, because really we gained so much.” When memories from that challenging time come up, they remind each other, “But look how far we’ve come.” “It might sound strange to say [that] we have come to see the fire as a blessing. It helped us to projects understand what is truly important: love, family, community, health. Sure, I occasionally have a twinge of pain when I realize I don't have that picture or blanket anymore, for example, but other than that I have the clear knowledge and understanding that we were blessed with more than we lost. We will never replace our heirlooms or tangible pieces of our past but we have our family, our lives, and a sense of our community that is stronger than it ever was.” Grandparents Raising Their Kids’ Kids Sometimes a Teddy Bear Annie Liner, from her twenty-year perspective as MCCF’s volunteer executive director, observes is the best medicine of all.

Quilt of Community – Continued from Page 4 Fund sends to Flynn Creek Circus Day Camp, Jones and his younger sister were raised by Quilt of Community – Continued from Page 2 their hardworking single mother and by their loving grandparents. He was one of those “non- traditional learners” who had a hard time sitting still, and out of boredom, often found himself getting into trouble in school. Jones was lucky enough to find mentors in this community who helped him to recognize his natural talents. Before meeting his wife, Blaze Birge, who taught him the art of trapeze, Jones showed natural aptitudes for skateboarding, bass playing, swing dancing, improv comedy, Chinese medicine, and kung fu. The key to learning, both Jones and his teachers figured out, was for him to be engaged in both mind and body. “I’m lucky my mom moved us here to Mendocino when I was thirteen and to have had my grandparents here to help us. My life would have looked very different if we had stayed in San Diego.” Although they travel the world much of the year, Jones and Birge will always consider Mendocino home. Their ABOVE, left to right: Backpacks and shoes get ditributed by MCCF's Back to School project, along with a summer camp is one of the ways they give back to their community.

These camp experiences have been life changing for many kids. one reason or another, their dads aren’t involved in their lives and their moms are overburdened with trying to juggle it all. We try to set our students up with mentorship and vocational training “Part of what we are teaching kids is how to calibrate where they are in time and space. They are programs, to connect them with other positive role models who they can identify with. MCCF is there coordinating their minds with their bodies. It’s like problem solving or puzzle work,” says Birge. to facilitate that for us, be it with funding or connecting us with community members who can help.” And then, there’s fun! Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund believes in supporting extracurricular activities that help address a child’s emotional needs as well as their immediate physical ones. Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund provides scholarships each year to send local kids to Camp Mendocino in the redwoods out Highway 20, and to Nature Day Camp at Jug Handle, in Caspar. These scholarships have afforded hundreds of children the chance to be in nature, to make new friends, and to participate in the teambuilding exercises that a camp environment fosters. Illustrating the benefits of summer camps to kids’ self-esteem, one grandparent remarks, “My ten-year-old has had such difficulty handling her feelings, but she is intelligent and so deeply feeling. She is truly a precious being. She is heading into a very early puberty and the kids at school have been bullying her about it. I had doubts that she would make it through the whole camp this summer and expected that call to come and get her. Instead she stayed the whole time and even got best behavior awards! She has a whole new feeling about herself that she is carrying with her in her heart. She has so much to offer and I am so happy for her.” Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund also provides scholarships for children to participate in programs like Flynn Creek Circus Day Camp. Founders Blaze Birge and David Jones, a wife- ABOVE: The culmination of each Flynn Creek Circus Day Camp is a tentful of excited families watching their husband team who together make up the world-renowned trapeze act “The Daring Jones Duo,” kids execute amazing feats of skill and daring.
