Any donated funds will help them with the necessities of daily life for food, gas and addi-
tional expenses incurred as well as family cat's veterinary expenses.
This is a family that has always giving so it is hard for them to be on the receiving end.
They really need help with donations in starting the first few weeks and onward.
The recent devastating fires in Santa Rosa, California (Sonoma County) has left the
Stephens Family with no home, no belongings, although thankfully with their lives and
family intact. They were lucky to get out of their house with the clothes they were wear-
ing, scooping up the kids from their sleep and fleeing for their lives, they did not know
that this would be the last time their family would ever see their home or belongings.
They tried their best to grab the family cat "Crosby" but he was unreachable and fleeing
from fear.
The following day upon seeing the burned down remnants of was once their home, Grant
spotted the family cat "Crosby" lying in the gutter amongst the debris in front of their
burned down home, unrecognizable due to black singe fur coat from what was once
beautiful orange striped fur coat. Crosby ran out of fear at first, but Grant was able to
locate him and rushed him to the closest Veterinary Clinic which required a large deposit
for Crosby's care. The vet clinic was able to revive Crosby with oxygen but needed
overnight medical care due to burns. The vet bill and prescribed medicine alone will set the family back at this time.
Bringing their family cat Crosby to the worried little boys will help with the healing and show them things will get better.
It is indescribable how the events has brought so many family and friends together for them, dropping off clothing and
toys for the children ( Boys age 6 yrs and 4 yrs old), as well as for Jill and Grant.
Grant is an electrician commuting to San Francisco daily from Santa Rosa and Jill works locally for Sonoma
County. Their oldest son is 6 years old and attends a local school and will need daily lunches, snacks and school
supplies. Their youngest son is 4 years old and will also require daily lunches, snacks and necessities for attending
day care.
On behalf of Grant, Jill, Bode and Duke, we thank you sincerely

While I keep up with current events, especially these days, first to admit I try to stay
away from the news. Lately, I find myself glued to the television to what is happening
this week in Sonoma County and other areas. The word is devastation!!!!
Friends close to me, our league bowlers have lost their homes. Fire containment al-
most nil. Last night, hit hard, as I found out that one of our league bowlers and his
wife trying to leave the home, was consumed by the fire trying to drive away.
I have been contacting bowlers concerning their leagues being canceled. Majority of
them in conversation, have mentioned that someone in their family has been devas-
tated during this tragedy.
Many closures of businesses, but Double Decker Lanes has remained open during all
this. Reason, give people somewhere to go.
Many calls asking if we are open, some visit the center just to get away from this
craziness.
To all, please stay safe.
