Do You Know What "Llama Beans" Are? 
Llama beans are an innovative new way of raising funds for the many local projects that our club funds each year.

Llama beans are the natural output of llamas—in short, llama poop. And llama poop turns out to be one of the most desirable fertilizers available.
 
Bags of llama beans are sold on Organic Gardening Day, which is usually the first Sunday in May, outside Pini Hardware store at 1535 South Novato Blvd.

Proceeds provide funding for scholarships and other local projects supporting the club’s goal of improving the lives of women and girls.
