Assistant City Manager
Dublin Pride Week is an annual event that seeks to promote a positive image for the City of
Dublin. The primary objective for Dublin Pride Week is to seek ways to engage individuals
and/or groups in action based activities to help improve the community. This year, Dublin Pride
Week is scheduled to start on Saturday, April 28 and will conclude on Saturday, May 5, 2012.
The 2012 Dublin Pride Committee is seeking to build on the success of previous Dublin Pride
Week events by engaging diverse community groups and individuals in the planning process.
The Committee is made up of members representing the following groups:
• City Council
• City Staff
• Dublin Unified School District
• Amador Valley Industries
• Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD)
• Zone 7 Water Agency
Page 1 of 4 ITEM NO. 8.2
• Dublin/San Ramon Women's Club
• Dublin Lion's Club
• Senior Foundation
• Community Volunteers
This year the committee picked a new logo. The slogan used in the previous logo, "Our City,
Our Home," was maintained in the new logo. The attached brochure (Attachment 1) and other
informational media utilize the new logo in addition to the "Our City, Our Home" slogan. This
year's slogan is "It's Our All-America City... Be Involved!" which draws attention to the fact that
Dublin was recognized as a 2011 All-America City by the National Civic League.
The proposed 2012 Dublin Pride Activities are as follows:
Poster & Essay Contest:
The poster contest has been a Dublin Pride Week tradition for many years. This year an essay
contest is being incorporated as well. The essay theme is "Why My City is An All-America City."
The Dublin San Ramon Women's Club has again volunteered to organize and manage the
poster and essay contest. The Poster and Essay Contest are open to all Dublin students grades
K-12. Winning artwork and essays will be displayed at the Civic Center. Awards will be handed
out at a future Dublin City Council Meeting.
School Giveaways:
Dublin Pride promotional items will be given to each child that attends school in Dublin. This
year's giveaways are silicone bracelets (made from recycled silicone). The bracelets are green
and include the Dublin Pride "Our City, Our Home" slogan.
Food Drive:
Collection bins will be set up at the grocery stores within Dublin including the two Safeway
Stores, Sprouts, Ranch 99 and Grocery Outlet. All food collected will be divided equally and
donated to food banks that solely service Dublin, such as the Dublin Children's Emergency
Council and the Well Christian Community. Collection bins will also be set up at Volunteer Day
with a request for volunteers to bring a canned food item with them to Volunteer Day.
Household Hazardous Waste Collection:
Dublin residents will be allowed to drop off household hazardous waste free of charge and also
pick up free compost for their personal use. The event will be held at the MicroDental, a DTI
Laboratory, site located at 5601 Arnold Drive (corner of Arnold and Central Parkway) on May 5,
2012. An announcement with reservation information will be sent to Dublin residents via U.S.
mail informing them of the event place and time.
Volunteer Day Projects:
Volunteer Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 2012 beginning at 8:00 a.m. and will
conclude with a free BBQ at the Heritage Park by the Dublin Lion's Club. Docent led tours of the
Heritage Park will be available following the BBQ. All volunteers will also receive a free reusable
shopping bag from the City of Dublin and a seed bookmark from AVI. Volunteer Day projects
include the following:
Senior Assistance Projects
Volunteers will help elderly citizens take care of home maintenance projects such as
painting, cleaning, yard work, washing windows, etc.

School Improvement Projects
Volunteers will choose from designated school beautification projects. Activities may
include painting, repairs, cleaning, etc. Work is currently scheduled for Fallon Middle
School and Frederiksen Elementary School.
Non-Profit Assistance Projects
Volunteers will be helping non-profits organizations take care of maintenance projects
such as painting, cleaning, yard work, washing windows, etc.
City Parks Projects
Volunteers will have the opportunity to help with various maintenance projects such as
cleaning, yard work, spreading mulch, etc. at the following parks: Heritage Park, Dublin
Sports Grounds, and Fallon Sports Park.
City Creek Cleanup Projects
Volunteers will have the opportunity to help cleanup several of the City's creeks and
waterways.
Fitness Challenge:
This year, the Pride Week Committee has decided to expand the fitness challenge that was
added to Dublin Pride Week last year. The program (Attachment 2) centers on collecting points
for various fitness or good health related activities that are completed throughout Pride Week. A
form was also created for students. Residents and students will be asked to keep a daily total
and submit it to the City at the end of the week. The Challenge for the community will be to
accumulate at least 3,000 points for the entire week. In order to provide incentive for participants
to provide a score to the City, the Pride Week Committee recommends that a raffle of small
prizes, such as movie tickets, be held for residents and students that turn in their forms. In
addition, the Committee proposes that the City Council provide recognition to the top three
highest point getters at a future City Council meeting. Residents are able to download the
program from the Pride Week website and have been distributed to the schools.
Farmer's Market Grand Opening:
The Grand Opening of the Farmer's Market will be held on Thursday, May 3, 2012 from 4:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Emerald Glen Park. Residents who attend the Farmer's Market will be able
to earn five points for the Fitness Challenge. The Dublin San Ramon Services District and Zone
7 Water Agency will be sponsoring a "Water Conservation Zone" at the Farmers Market where
residents can apply for money-saving rebates, enter awater-efficient landscape contest, and
take home free, practical information on water-wise living.
Bike Flat Tire Repair Clinic:
Dublin residents will be able to receive a free bike check-up and instructions for minor bike
repairs at the intersection of Amador Valley and the Ironhorse Trail from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. on Saturday, May 5, 2012.
Public Outreach:
The success of Dublin Pride Week is largely dependent on the public outreach campaign
developed to increase the community's awareness and participation in the activities and
volunteer opportunities. This year's public outreach efforts include:
• Website - www.dublinprideweek.com. The website was developed for participants
to obtain up-to-date information on the various activities and volunteer
opportunities surrounding Dublin Pride Week. The website also includes a place
