Eileen Bauer, DIRECTOR
JULIE PONZINI, DIRECTOR
My husband Dan and I are the new owners of the McCloud River Bed & Breakfast. In 1989 I began my 32 year career in the sheet metal industry. 20 years ago I opened a bakery named Sugarcastles. For the past 10 years we've been deeply involved with St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Cotati where I'm the cook and caterer for all events taking place in the parish. Moving to McCloud has been a dream of ours and I'd be honored to be on the Board where I can share my talents, skills, and experience.
