All of the SMIA Board members are volunteers. If you would like to get involved, let us know. Do you have accounting skills? Like to do nonprofit tax returns? Like attending meetings? can you help at events or with event planning? Email us and we will find some way to put you to work. Email us at smiamail@gmail.com and tell us you are interested in becoming a volunteer.

Thanks in advance! tell a friend!

SMIA Yahoo Group Page Created

A new yahoo group page has been created for San Marin residents. This page is intended to be used as a resource for residents to be able to communicate with each other on issues that affect San Marin and its residents. We will be sending out email reminders of SMIA meetings, and SMIA events! Also, anyone in the group can email the host with topics and if appropriate, they will be emailed to the entire group.
