SCARE's primary role is to provide advocacy to protect the benefits and interests of our members (approximately 1,850) by working with a number of organizations in Sonoma County and throughout California. There is little cost to this as activities are done by volunteer Board Members. We also provide information to all our members through quarterly newsletters and a website. Information is also provided through quarterly membership meetings (approximately 60 members) with speakers offered in person and on Zoom.

Program 2

SCARE provides scholarships to children and grandchildren of Sonoma County employees and retirees. We provide three $1,500 scholarships to students at Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) and two $3,000 scholarships to students at Sonoma State University (SSU). Money is given directly to the colleges and they select and monitor the students.

Program 3

SCARE makes donations to non-profit organizations that provide services to seniors or to organizations that can help us protect retiree rights and benefits
