The Ranch has been named the Tiburon Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year, recognizing the joint recreation agency’s 50 years of serving the community.

The agency will be honored at Bank of Marin’s annual Spirit of Marin luncheon Sept. 26 in San Rafael and at a local chamber event Nov. 18.

“Its inclusive, self-sustaining approach to recreation and community engagement is inspiring,” she said.
