We are crestfallen over the loss of one of the areas most important sources of community, the Live 2 Kite shop in Greenbrae, which was just taken from us by fire. The Live 2 Kite shop, and its owner Evan, have taken a massive hit and sure could use some help from the community they have worked so hard to foster. If you have the means to pitch in and give a little back here's how to do that.
