The City of Sonoma proudly announces that Fred Allebach will be the next honoree recognized in the Celebrate Sonoma program. This special acknowledgment will take place during the Sonoma City Council meeting on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, beginning at 6:00 PM. This occasion will mark a significant tribute to Fred Allebach’s extensive contributions to the community as he moves out of the area.
Fred Allebach has been an integral part of Sonoma’s civic life for many years, known for his active participation at city meetings and dedication to numerous local initiatives. Notably, his work on the Sonoma Overlook Trail rehabilitation project and the development of a self-guided walking tour of the Historic Section of Mountain Cemetery, a city property, have left a lasting impact on the community. His involvement includes serving as the Chair of the Sonoma Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency Advisory Committee and as the City’s Chair of the Community Services and Environment Commission. This is far from a complete list, as he has been and continues to be very active in supporting and enhancing the community in countless ways.
Fred’s enduring commitment and countless contributions to the city have been recognized with awards from the Sonoma City Council and the Sonoma League for Historic Preservation for his work with the Mountain Cemetery project. In addition, Fred’s background in handyman and house painting services, spanning nearly five decades, speaks to his multifaceted presence in the community.
Join us in celebrating Fred Allebach on November 20 as the City of Sonoma expresses its gratitude for his years of service, dedication, and leadership.
