TO:Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM:Jackie Dwyer, Parks & Community Services Director
SUBJECT:Update on Programs and Classes at the Future Dublin Arts CenterPrepared by:Jennifer Mendez, Management Analyst I
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will receive an update on the planned programs and classes at the future Dublin Arts Center.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Receive the report and provide feedback.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:There is no financial impact associated with this report.
DESCRIPTION:BackgroundIn October 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with Group 4 Architecture Research and Planning, Inc. to develop the old Police Services wing of the Civic Center Complex, encompassing13,500 square feet of the Civic Center, into the Dublin Arts Center (Center). The Center will include a black box theater, an art gallery, and program spaces, including a dance studio, arts and crafts room, mixed media space, music studio, and a ceramics studio/arts yard. On May 19, 2020, the City Council approved the schematic design of the proposed Center (Attachment 1).Dublin Arts CenterConstruction of the Center started in November of 2022 and is anticipated to be completed in late spring/early summer of 2024. In preparation for the opening, Staff began developing tentative schedules for programs and activities that will take place in the new Center. The Center will feature six programable spaces: the Mixed Media Room, Arts and Crafts Room, Ceramics Studio/Arts Yard, Precinct Black Box Theater, Dance Studio, and Music Studio. Each space will host classes and programs tailored to its specific focus.
16
Page 2 of 3
Classes and ActivitiesStaff has been recruiting experienced and knowledgeable instructors in the arts realm to maximize the use of program-specific rooms at the Center. Instructors will conduct classes via one-year agreements and be compensated 60 percent of the resident rates generated from program fees while the city retains the remainder. Various year-round cultural arts programs for all skill levels and ages, from preschool to seniors, will occur during the center's regular hours of operation. The department will manage and collect program registration and advertise classes in the quarterly Activity Guides, the City’s website, and social media platforms, as well as through community email blasts. Staff will collaborate with the instructors each season to rotate and introduce innovative programs to ensure new and varied participant offerings. Furthermore, Staff will conduct surveys with participants at the end of each season to gather feedback and input for new programs to ensure that the center's offerings align with the community's interests. This approach aims to continuously enhance the cultural arts experience available at the Center. The department has received proposals and conducted interviews for the following classes that are being considered:
Introduction to Drawing
Introduction to and Group Piano Lessons
Beginning and Advanced Watercolor, Painting, Oil Painting, and Resin Art
Beginning Acrylic Painting
Acrylic Painting and Gel Mediums
Ceramics Hand Building
Color Theory and 3D Design and Concepts
Visual Arts: Mixed Media
Ballet
Texture Art
Flower Pressing
Screen Painting
Paper Mache
Art Journaling
Mindfulness iPhone PhotographyThis list includes the received proposals; however, Staff is actively exploring additional niche arts courses to enrich and diversify the offerings at the Center. Potential additions include:
Bollywood
Theater and performing arts
Improv
Printmaking
Architecture and design
Vocal lessons
Music History
Sculpture

Mosaic
Photography
Other creative disciplines This ongoing search aims to cater to a wide range of interests within the community, ensuring a vibrant and inclusive array of artistic opportunities at the Center.Ceramics Studio and Open Studio TimeStaff is in the initial stages of researching activities in the Ceramics Studio, including the possibility of open studio time. Open studio time is a valuable opportunity for artists to access the studio independently, fostering creativity and skill development. Contact has been made withneighboring cities with established ceramic studios to thoroughly review their policies, pricing strategies, and staffing parameters to ensure a safe and supportive environment within the studio. The City has not finalized a policy, but there is an inclination to implement open studio times for a few hours each week. This ensures balanced and accessible utilization of the Ceramics Studio.SummaryThe Center promises a vibrant array of cultural arts programs catering to diverse interests and aiming to become a hub for artistic exploration. It will continually adapt its program offerings to align with community preferences, actively seeking input to introduce new classes and ensure a dynamic and inclusive arts experience. Staff seeks guidance and feedback from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission regarding the proposed programs and invites recommendations on the types of classes the city should actively pursue.

TO:Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM:Jackie Dwyer,Parks & Community Services Director
SUBJECT:Storm Drain Art SelectionPrepared by:Shelby Perry, Recreation Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will consider Storm Drain Art design proposals and make a recommendation to the City Council for storm drains to be painted in 2024. During the open call to artists, 55 proposals were received from 21 individual artists.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Consider Storm Drain Art design proposals and recommend up to 20 proposals to the City Council for approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:The cost of the Storm Drain Art temporary art project, including artist payments and miscellaneous supplies, is estimated at $13,000. This project is funded by the Public Art Fund and is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget.
DESCRIPTION:BackgroundStorm Drain Art, a temporary public art project that will be completed in 2024, will include the painting of up to 20 storm drain inlets throughout Dublin. Storm drains are the initial inlets allowing rainwater to enter local waterways before eventually flowing to the San Francisco Bay. Pollutants, such as motor oil, pet waste, and other sediment and urban chemicals, also enterstormwater systems. Adding artistic murals to storm drain inlets will help raise awareness and improve water quality in local watersheds and the San Francisco Bay. Artwork should also align with the City’s Values, which are a part of the adopted Mission and Vision Statements, including safety, inclusivity, diversity, equality, and history. Artwork must be suitable for all ages.

Artist Statement:
Entrance To The Clean Bay
Looking at the beautiful art of mosaic glass art, I aim to replicate a similar idea in my piece.
My piece highlights the nature and beauty of the Bay Area; with flowing water, a rainbow,
and our state flower. I hope this shows the significance and beauty of the water to the Bay
Area and will inspire many to preserve the water we have. With this piece, I aimed to use
bright bold colors along with a bold black outline, which will make this recognizable and
bright even from far away.

Artist Statement:
Only Rain Down the Drain
In this piece, I aim to put the message that storm drains are just that, that no trash should be
thrown. Not only does my choice of wording make it clear to viewers that trash should not be
thrown away, but it also shows how the rain is used to make nature grow. I hope this will
show people that it is important we do not contaminate our water and remind them of the
water cycle and how it works. By only using shades of blue, it provides a powerful and
eye-catching image for passers-by and creates a cohesive look.

Artist Statement:
Clean Water Starts With YOU
My design shows a message that we are all in this together. I hope by making it clear that
only by working together and acting like good citizens can we all get clean healthy water.
The design is bright, colorful, and fun. My inspiration came from children’s books, I wanted to
translate the same vivid style into my design. I kept a theme of using all different kinds of
blues and chose a vivid pink for the letters to make it stand out.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The artists, Anne and Vera, are passionate about their commitment to helping climate change and
we feel that as visual artists our best way to stand up for how we feel is through our paint
brushes.
Each of the designs reflects the beauty of ocean life and a catch phrase to help the community
stay aware of the importance of keeping our water ways clean.
Vera Lowdermilk has spent many hours at the ocean side and as a scuba diver in the Monterey
Bay area. Anne Giancola is an avid beach lover.

Artist Statement:
I drew a picture of two hands holding a single drop of water encasing the Earth in the
center as the marine ecosystem thrives in the bottom of the water drop. Around the
water, the statement, “The future of the ocean is in your hands” is written in a circular
format to provide an aesthetic vision that highlights the shape of our beautiful Earth. I
intend to accentuate the importance of our collective effort as each of us is like one drop
of water and as each water drop combines, our dedication together as a community
makes up the entire ocean. As such, we must take the responsibility into our hands to
reduce pollution and eradicate contamination to preserve our bay every day. We should
never underestimate the power of our collective effort for the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts.

2023 Temp Storm Drain Call for Artists
Deirdre Weinberg

IG:@herrr_again
I am excited to apply for this storm drain design because it provides an opportunity to
engage and encourage positive behavior while addressing and educating the public
about preserving clean water. It also provides an opportunity to respond to this
challenge with a humorous, cartoon type approach which I found is often more effective
than other approaches. I think that people relate more easily to a huge and important
issue when it is presented in a non-scary, inviting way.
I am showing simply drawn and painted aquatic animals in their environment along with
a rhyme that directs the desired behavior, painted brightly to attract attention. It was fun
to come up with the ideas and designs.
I am open to any location these designs might fit and can scale them to any size
between 6 and 10 square feet.

BIOGRAPHY
Ekaterina Bazlakova is an established Bay Area artist and art teacher. She
was born in Moscow in 1956 in the family of the artist. She loved painting ever
since she was born. When she grew up, she graduated first from Art School, and
then from the Moscow State Art Academy.
While searching for her unique style, she created a series of graphic
drawings and paintings, which were purchased by the Hellen Lama Gallery in
Ruan, France.
Starting in the ‘90s, her artwork was featured at the Izmailovo Vernissage in
Moscow, Russia. In 1993, Ekaterina's works were featured at the international art
exhibition “Moscow-Berlin, Berlin- Moscow.” You can find her paintings in private
collections all across the globe: Russia, Germany, Israel, the USA, France, and
Finland.
Not long ago, Ekaterina moved to California to join her family and was
impressed by the local beautiful nature and landscapes. She started the
“California Dreaming” artwork series. Before and during the pandemic, she
created about 30 paintings of different sizes on this theme. She created her own
genre - Dreamscapes. In 2020, Ekaterina designed an award winning utility box
artwork and completed a mural for the local community entitled “Orange
poppies.” You can see her artwork in Dublin.
In 2019-2020 some pieces of the “California Dreaming” series were exhibited
in local galleries in Dublin, Danville, Los Gatos. Four of her big paintings were
exhibited at the Splatter Festival in Dublin in September 2021 and in 2022 two of
her pictures were used for advertisement of this festival. In 2022, Ekaterina
painted a second utility box “Dublin is the holiday that is always with you”, and
also she decorated a book box for Little Free Library in Dublin. Now, she
continues her “California Dreaming” artwork series, and participates often in
ArtWalks on Castro Valley MarketPlace. In 2023, she decorated her third Utility
box “Out of the box” for the city of Dublin. In 2023 Ekaterina's artworks were
chosen for the “Utility box ART and banner program” in Alameda.

ARTIST STATEMENT FOR DUBLIN STORM DRAIN ART
PROJECT BY: Artist Ekaterina Bazlakova
I am Ekaterina Bazlakova, an established Bay Area artist. I am
excited to participate in the Storm Drain Art project! I want to present
my artwork for this project.
I created a series of 5 paintings I called “Water is life”. The water
theme is close to me. I have a lot of artworks about this theme in my
portfolio. My first painting as a California artist is “Golden fishes”. I
decided to paint two designs of this artwork for the Storm Drain Art
Project.
Another two artworks reflect water flowers, fishes and heron -
aquatic life. My artworks reflect the beauty of nature. I am inspired by
gorgeous California nature. I painted these compositions for the
project, because they are symbols of safety and peace. And the fifth
design was inspired by Japanese artist Hokusai (1760-1849), his
engraving “Big wave”, but I painted it in my own, contemporary style.
My compositions are done with acrylic in a unique decorative
style, they are dreamscapes. Water spaces are framed by wave
patterns. The main idea is - peace, safety, beauty and enjoying life.
I had a lot of fun creating artworks for this project. I will be happy
to decorate Storm Drains in Dublin if my designs are chosen.
You can see my art on my website: www.artbazlakova.com

Leviathan
I went in a little bit different direction with this one by doing a more graphic-like style. I was
inspired by linocut stamps as well as manhole covers that some Japanese cities have. I played
around with the shape to try to take up as much of the space as possible while also making
sure it flowed nicely.

The Sea Fae
I was inspired by mythical sea creatures, particularly mermaids, and how the sea seems to be
its own being. I wanted to bring in coral reef elements because I think they are beautiful and I
hope to help bring a little more awareness to the loss of coral reefs worldwide. I made the sea
fae look like its the sea itselft, so she is a part of the turblent waves above, but also at peace
within the reef.

Raindrop Fish
I was inspired by the Ghibli movie, "Ponyo", along with candy to create a magical illustration. I

Spiral
When I think of rain drainage, I think of big tunnels and caverns funneling water down all the
way to the ocean. I wanted to bring a sense of flow and movement to the piece, so I opted to
use a spiral shape to convey such along with some wave shapes to further illustrate a stream
of raindrops that the fish will soon be swimming within. Through the use of a softer pastel
palette, I wanted to give the piece a sense of wonder and magic, as water has an almost
ethereal element to it that gives life to this planet.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Design A: Minnow Ballet
I have spent summers swimming at Shadow Cliffs in Pleasanton among schools of minnows; their silver
scales lashing and yellow ins bringing sunlight to the silty depths. Small, quick, and harmless, these
tiny ish bring a thrill to waders of all ages. I would like to present them here, as in the shallows of a
lake, making their way towards the storm drain; the borders painted as circular window into their
world, including shadows cast from above. The end result is a subtle Trompe L’Oeil. I painted the picture
in acrylic paint on wood, using only a single scienti ic illustration of the native minnow for reference. I
can coax these gentle shades from the paints provided in the project.
Design B: Rainbow School
I am inspired by a tale of colorful ish swimming in rain puddles in Southeast Asia. I envision Betas,
beloved irst pets for most of us, moving in a peaceful school towards and around the storm drain. This
design would differ because I would not paint a background but use the pavement’s original surface: only
the ish, their shadows, and the edge of the pool would be painted. Suspended in motion across the
pavement, as if in perfectly clear water.
Design C: Tide Pool
My earliest memories at the beach are exploring the tidepools in Carmel, near to my childhood home in
Paci ic Grove, California. Sticky sea anemones, hard shells, slippery seaweed, and the leathery star ish
captivated me. I would like to paint a realistic tide pool on the pavement, with an irregular shape, like a
real tidepool, with one edge next to the storm drain. I added the Australian blue ring octopus, a critter
found in tidepools down under, as the star of the scene and a learning tool. The venom from this animal
can paralyze a human for a short time and is used in medicine for delicate procedures. I also added this
beauty for its jewel-like beauty. I painted the tidepool from my head using only photos as general
reference for the texture, structure, and coloration of the animals and plants within.

My mural proposal depicts a calm ocean scene with bioluminescent jellyfish. The sun is setting,
and the water is welcoming but mysterious. I chose to work with bioluminescence because of
the awe that it inspires to many people. I also wanted it to grab the attention of the public
quickly, and to the point. Maybe once they see something as beautiful as glowing ocean life,
they will think twice about polluting it. I chose to use lots of blending techniques, because it is
just fun to paint like that, and it gives off a gentle feeling.

BIOGRAPHY
Maria is an 8th grader at Creekside middle School in Castro
Valley. She’s been drawing since childhood, as her grandparents are
both artists! When Maria was 9 years old, she created an instagram
account where she posts her creative projects. This year, Maria
participated in a call for artists fo the city of Danville, and designed an
Alice in wonderland themed illustration for a bench.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
As an artist, I'm passionate about bringing imagination to life through
vibrant colors and playful characters. My series of illustrations for
storm drain murals aim to celebrate the beauty of clean water and the
wonders of marine life.
DESIGN
Through cartoon-style depictions of sea creatures, sunsets, and
ships, I hope to inspire everyone to appreciate our oceans and the
importance of preserving them. Each artwork represents a world
where these creatures thrive in a clean, harmonious environment,
inviting viewers to join in the joy of a healthier planet.

Artist Statement
I chose marbles for this project as they are so boldly colored I believe they will catch the eye of
passing viewers. They are also playful objects, and may easily roll down drains. Tucked behind a yellow
marble, nearly falling down, I painted one marble like the Earth, in an effort to show what is thrown
away when things go down the drain that are harmful to the watershed.
I plan on using a variety of bright colors for this project, and could make it three by three feet or
larger if that was desired; the design is malleable based on the space provided. It will be painted to look
fairly realistic, with the marbles looking like spheres, however some brushstrokes would be visible as
well, especially in the ribbon of water in order to show movement and carry the eye throughout the
piece.

Artist Statement
For this proposal I will be including three separate art pieces all inspired by my own
experiences and aspects of the local Bay Area. As someone who has grown up in the Bay Area,
I’m aware of the importance of keeping our storm drains and other areas where our water gets
drained out to the bay clean and free of trash and other remnants that can be harmful to the
ecosystem. For two of the pieces I decided to include some of the local marine wildlife to draw
attention to who and what are being affected by the water quality. Both pieces include phrases
that address the audience directly about where and who are being affected. The third piece is
made to represent clean and clear water and is supported with the phrase “ Keep Our Water
Clean”.

Statement:
Dublin 2023 - Storm Drain Art
Rhonda Chase
I’m an avid lover of the environmental resources we enjoy in the Bay Area,
as well as a lifelong activist and advocate for the environment. I’ve been a
decades-long member of the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, and the
Union of Concerned Scientists, among other groups. As such, one of my
main goals in my artistic journey is to use my art and design expertise to
bring environmental awareness to communities in a gentle and optimistic
way. The storm drain art is the kind of project I love to work on.
I have extensive experience as a graphic designer, fine artist and illustrator.
I’ve had dozens of corporate and municipal clients and have done
hundreds of design and illustration projects. Over the last few years I’ve
been pursuing more gallery showings and public art work. I’ve successfully
completed projects for Cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Danville,
and Livermore. And have been selected for a multi-element public art
project by the Alameda County Arts Commision.
I’ve completed these projects for the city of Dublin over the last few years:
Utility Box Art - Fallon Road
Utility Box Art - Central Parkway
Reclaimed Wood art Sculpture - City Hall
Reclaimed Wood art Sculpture - Senior Center

"Underwater Hopscotch" takes inspiration from the traditional childhood game of
hopscotch. It doesn't only provide a visual display but also provides a fun and
interactive aspect to the sidewalk for all ages, eincouraging passersby to play the
game themselves. It is geared towards a young,er audience but also appeals to the
nostalgia of older generations. This artwork brings pedestrians along a whimsical
journey by adding an underwater background to the squares and encourages
awareness of water quality by adding the mottc, "only rain down the drain" at the
end of the hopscotch game.

The goal of the Dublin Public Arts Program is to bring community
together and promote diversity. I believe everyone in the community
can relate to the lovable characters in the films Finding Nemo and
Finding Dory across all walks of life. While it can remind adults of
their childhood, it attracts children to characters they have seen on
screen. That point of connection draws more attention to the work
and that's why I added the text to include something about keeping
the water clean. Bringing these lovable characters to life on these
storm drains is sure to bring attention and promote the importance
of keeping water clean. As a huge Disney fan myself, I know that
seeing this on the sidewalk would bring back memories of
childhood, make me pause, maybe chuckle or smile, but I would
notice it. And that's where change starts, by noticing the small
things.

Swa� Rastogi is an ar�st of Indian origin who now lives in Dublin, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
She has lived an ar�ul life on the East Coast (Jersey City) prior to moving to the Bay. Born and
brought up in India, moved to the United States in 2012. From the �me she remembers, art has
always been more than a passion for her, in fact almost a way of life, driving her to a formal
educa�on that included her Bachelors of Fine Arts and Masters in History of Arts from India. Her
art is a combina�on of Fine Arts and Cra�s and she has developed a style which involves her
culture, tradi�ons, aesthe�cs, emo�ons and intellect.
Swa� works on several mediums like murals, chalk, wood, canvas, glass etc. She is also a
proficient henna ar�st who proudly reflects her inspira�ons from the motherland and has taken
her mehndi designs to every medium, from hands to canvas to walls to streets. Her works are
noted for elegance and aten�on to detail and her soul is highly influenced by indigenous arts of
India - mo�fs from these reflect consistently in her works.
Besides making art for the walls, she paints a lot of art that is func�onal. She loves paterns. She
loves colors. She observes them in everyday things from her food crea�ons to her clothing to
her art making. Having spent �me with tribal ar�sts of central India and many other states, she
has a deep connec�on with the indigenous arts of India as well as America.
She has developed her own style and paints a lot of Mandalas, art influenced by the indigenous
tribes, abstract faces, a few symbols she frequently paints and o�en plays around with textures
and mostly works in mixed mediums.
Swa�’s contribu�ons to the art scene in Jersey City were recognized by one and all and can be
evidenced by the fact that she was awarded a cita�on by the mayor himself. Some of her major
works include pain�ng a couple of murals at arguably one of the most prominent Indian
restaurant chains in New Jersey, pain�ng the streets of downtown Jersey City for one of the
biggest LGBTQ Pride fes�vals for two consecu�ve years, pain�ng a few storm drains in Jersey
City, several chalk art drawings on street, a massive rangoli for the NYC Holi fes�val and many
art exhibi�ons and events. Her art contribu�ons can also be seen in the Bay Area in a few art
shows, city wide public art projects like pain�ng of a life size chair, life size picture frames, an
Electric U�lity Box, a wine barrel, storefront window, all within the ci�es of Tri Valley.
Look for her colorful and cra�y acts on her Instagram @swa�rastogi.arts

It will be an honor, a pleasure, to be a chosen ar�st to paint the storm drains of my city, Dublin, a project
I always dreamt will someday happen. I have a good experience of pain�ng on the streets and I am
thrilled to see this project now happening in my city.
Having done a couple public art projects in the Tri Valley, pain�ng a few storm drains would be an
addi�onal wonderful project and I will be glad to extend my crea�vity and experience in Dublin in many
more ways.
My previously painted storm drains were in ‘aqua�c’ theme as it was announced by the city and every
corner home by the storm drain, chose a par�cular subject, for eg. Fish, salamander, mermaid etc. The
works I am sharing are from 2018 and my works have progressed ever since.
For Dublin, I propose to paint some fishes, some flowers, mermaids, hearts, beau�ful mandala
designs (ref. u�lity box). Such subjects will be easily reciprocated by the residents. We have so many
children, so many parks, having some of those painted around the drains will be a wonderful act of art. I
am truly very excited to being one of the many chosen ar�sts for this project, mostly because I live in
Dublin, I have done many more projects and art shows and I come with an experience of pain�ng in
public arts. I am confident, if selected, I would do my best to take this project and paint some lovely
atrac�ve storm drains.
Fishes are a symbol of human awareness and happiness. They have freedom of movement in water. It
also represents fer�lity and abundance. The residents will connect to such a subject deeply and kids love
water and fish.
Flowers are a mood li�er. They grow with joy wherever possible. Symbolizes friendship and unity while
they also stand for death and forgiveness. Flowers have a deep associa�on with our lives. Having some
flowers painted around the drain will create a curiosity and the residents with pause and admire.
Hearts are always welcoming for many themes. It indicates wide range of emo�ons. Lots of hearts in
different colors around the drain will create cheer, a feeling compassion and understanding, Dublin’s
beau�ful LGBTQ residents and Dublin’s support for love one love all. All residents promptly connect to a
symbol that is heart as it awakens love in so many ways.
Mandala designs (somewhat like my u�lity box), they will be ornamental designs around the drains in
different paterns and colors. Mandalas are a symbol of universe, a connec�on between our inner worlds
and outer reality, designs that start from a circle and going around it. Residents will connect to neutral
designs that has lots of paterns and colors and some may also connect the ar�st style to other works.
Can be geometric, can be organic. It’s a chemistry of complex paterns.
My art contribu�ons in Jersey City ranged from canvas to walls to streets and everything in between. I
am trying to do the same in the Tri Valley.
Whichever themes are selected, I will do my best to paint the street murals in one of the most
an�cipated art projects.

OVERVIEW
I’ve been an artist for 11 years now specializing in realistic cartooning, painting custom artwork for
home decor, graphic design & illustration for a variety of small businesses and schools. I also
create stencils for tattoos. I have a passion for painting and design & I do not limit myself when it
comes to creating. This project will give me an opportunity to grow, bring awareness to sea life
and the effects of littering in art pieces that anyone can relate to.
Inspiration
1. Jellyfish & Straws: I came up with this concept when brainstorming how to incorporate sea
life and waste and it meshed beautifully.
2. Starbs go in the Garbs: walking to Lucky’s my husband and I often see empty Starbucks
cups on the sidewalk and in the street that we clean up during our community clean up
for Dublin. This was a catchy reminder to those who litter.
3. Octopus with empty Bottle: Octopus often catch prey like this and can squeeze their way
into bigger plastics which can be a danger to them and bigger sea life that catch octopus.
SPECIFICATIONS
These three proposals are sketches I drew myself and look forward to blowing up to add
beautiful color and dimension to each piece individually if chosen.
MILESTONES
Dublin Community Clean Up
Me, my husband and our kids care about our community, sea life and our environment. Taking a
step to become a part of something bigger than ourselves has given us a feeling of satisfaction
160
and pride. I hope you appreciate the thought and intention that went into each piece. Thank you
for your consideration.
