Marin events and activities this weekend
Marin Buzz
November 19, 2025
In partnership with
Ashton Thomas Private Wealth is a 15-year old boutique, independent wealth management and financial planning firm with a new West Coast headquarters located in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District.
As Managing Director and Partner, I’m proud to welcome new clients to experience firsthand why independent advisory firms are among the fastest-growing segments in our industry. As a CFP® Professional, I specialize in working with successful individuals, families, and non-profits who value results-driven advice across a broad range of financial disciplines.
I’ve called Marin County home for the past 10 years, and I’m always happy to connect, whether by phone, Zoom, or in person.
Let’s talk about what matters most to you. [email protected]
This is a small independent toy store chain that is very impressive. It was started in the East Bay in 2001 by Stephanie Sala, then fairly quickly expanded to Novato in 2006. They opened a second Marin location at Corte Madera Town Center in 2018. 5 Little Monkeys curates an amazing selection of gifts for a wide range of ages and interests. So keep them in mind for your holiday shopping this year, and if you are planning ahead, check out their warehouse sale in Richmond this Saturday for up to 75% off.

Rue was adopted during Covid and is living her best life in Fairfax
