I'm so glad all of us from the Federation seem to be safe in Sonoma County.
I am in Petaluma, which is very smoky but not threatened now. We may have to
evacuate later this evening or tomorrow depending on the wind conditions. I
have many friends in the wine industry who have lost everything. Thank you
all for your support!

Best,

-- Hoby
