Donations to Save Auburn Ravine Salmon and Steelhead (SARSAS)
SARSAS accepts donations of cash, or in-kind donations of personal time and professional expertise and will work outside the usual channels of large financial grants. SARSAS has the ability to accept grant money as well as apply for grants for general support and to work on several of the barriers described in Auburn Ravine/Coon Creek Eco-System Restoration Plan.
SARSAS is an all-volunteer organization with all funds going to our mission of returning salmon and steelhead to the entire thirty-three mile length of Auburn Ravine.
If you would like to donate or have a question about donating, PLEASE contact Jack Sanchez at jlsanchez39@gmail.com or call 530.888.0281

Volunteer Needed to Setup and Manage a SARSAS Website
Contact Jack for further details at jlsanchez39@gmail.com
SARSAS is an all-volunteer 501 C 3, non-profit, public benefit corporation. SARSAS is seeking a volunteer to set up a website and manage it. The website is for salmon videos/salmon pictures which will be available to the media and the public. Here are the details for the Web Manager:
Scope of work:
Design stage would be pretty easy. SARSAS doesn't need a high powered, highly dynamic site. Just a basic site with good production values, that can handle new textual content on a monthly basis;
Implementation stage: Site would need to be hosted on a place with good bandwidth and good storage capabilities. We're hoping for a lot of traffic, as momentum builds;
Maintenance stage: Post Monthly meeting agendas. Occasional press releases. Media from SARSAS Photographers such as Steve Hubbard and Phil Robertson to be posted in galleries;
Funds: SARSAS has limited funds available to pay for some hard costs, but on a very limited basis. That's why we're looking for a pro bono solution from an interested professional.

Happy New Year and Thanks to the Countless Number of People Who Have Helped SARSAS and Other Organizations Return Salmon to the Auburn Ravine
Happy New Year and Thanks to the Countless Number of People Who Have Helped SARSAS and Other Organizations Return Salmon to the Auburn Ravine
What you all have done is almost miraculous with 273 salmon and 43 redds counted below Hemphill Dam, and even with no retrofitting for fish passage of NID's Hemphill Dam,, 30 salmon and 4 redds were measured and counted by CaDF&G, one of many underfunded and understaffed state agencies that goes far beyond what appears possible, and a special heartfelt thank to NOAA's Special Agent Don Tanner who have made an immeasurable contribution to salmon returning.
And a very special thanks to the Board of Directors of SARSAS who have doggedly persisted with its mission of returning salmon and steelhead to the entire thirty-three mile length of the Auburn Ravine.
May the new year bring even more focus and determination to help the fishes.
