A Message From The President
2021 President Greg Souza discusses upcoming events including our 100 Year Anniversary Centennial Celebration (Please Note: There will be NO dancing at the event due to Pleasant Hill Covid Restrictions), the hugely popular CCAR Chili Cook-ON competition! Greg also talks about the District 5 (West County) Broker Town Hall, the Richmond Building survey, upcoming education possibilities, and more!
CCAR’s Richmond Building – Your Opinion Matters
CCAR’s Richmond office is in an area that is experiencing ongoing safety concerns. The Board of Directors is considering the potential sale of the current Richmond site in order to purchase another property in a better location within District 5.
This move will allow us to protect our assets and better serve District 5 members (District 5 includes the cities of Crockett, El Cerrito, El Sobrante, Hercules, Kensington, Richmond Annex, Richmond, Point Richmond, Pinole, Rodeo and San Pablo).

The Devastating CA Wildfires and How to Help

If you and/or your members would like to help, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund, which provides grants of up to $5,000 to help members of…
