Fairmont gives $5,000 for high school ag department

A check for $5,000 to support the Sonoma Valley High School agriculture department was presented to FFA representatives during a ceremony at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa on Dec. 9. The contribution was the first half of a $10,000 grant made through the Fairmont Community Assistance and Responsibility to the Environment (CAREs) program that focuses on the environmental, social, and community well being of the communities where Fairmont does business.
