Board of directors
Rosemary Barry founded Friends of Sam's House to meet the urgent and immediate needs of people in West Marin. A longtime resident of Bolinas and owner of Sam's House, a unique residential care facility, she knows first-hand the challenges that community members face in getting assistance when an accident happens and health takes a turn for the worse. The additional challenge of living in West Marin when there is a sudden need for assistance was a serious problem that needed a solution. Friends of Sam's House was created to fill this critical need. "The health, happiness and well-being of ALL individuals in our community is what makes us strong." |
Julio Lucas is co-founder of Friends of Sam's House and is also a longtime resident of Bolinas. Julio has served the West Marin community in many ways - as an outstanding caregiver at Sam's House, to previously serving on the Coastal Health Alliance board of directors, to volunteering for the noncommercial community radio station KBBF, the first bilingual (English-Spanish) community radio station in the U.S. A generous and caring individual, Julio is always ready to offer kindness and help to anyone who needs it. "Empathy for others is the most important human quality." |
