DESCRIPTION: Dublin Pride Week is an annual event which strives to promote a
positive image for the City of Dublin. The overarching objective is to seek ways to provide individual
and/or group opportunities in action-based activities to help improve the community.
This year's Dublin Pride Week is scheduled to start on Saturday, April 26,' and conclude on Saturday, May
3, 2003. It had originally been planned to have Dublin Pride Week coincide with Earth Day on April
22nd. However, it was discovered that all of the Dublin Schools are scheduled for Spring Breaks during

the week when Earth Day is scheduled. Since many of the Dublin Pride Week activities are designed for
maximum involvement by school age children, the decision was made to delay the event by one week.
The 2003 Dublin Pride Committee is a highly-charged and motivated group that has made several
enhancements to build on previous successful Dublin Pride Weeks. The Committee is made up of 17
members, and is comprised of representatives from:
City Council Dublin San Ramon Services District
City Staff Zone 7 Water Agency
Dublin Unified School District Boy Scouts
Livermore-Dublin Disposal Girl Scouts
Dublin Chamber of Commerce Women's Club
At the Committee's first meeting, the group developed a list of success indicators for this year's Dublin
Pride Week, which were incorporated in the proposed 2003 Dublin Pride Activities:
Increase the number of participants in the Dublin Pride Week activities
Quality Projects and Programs
Effective Outreach in a variety of communication medias (newspapers, cable, radio,
interne.t) with the desired objective of expanding the Community's awareness and increase
volunteerism for Dublin Pride Week
The Committee also developed a branding logo to be associated with Dublin Pride Week that the
Community would recognize in the future. The logo (Attachment 1) is shown with the following words,
"Our City, Our Home, 2003 Dublin Pride", and the slogan, "We've Got It." The Committee felt this logo
truly captured the feeling of the City of Dublin and spells out why this is such a special community.
Proposed 2003 Dublin Pride Activities are as follows:
I. Effective Outreach Campaign to increase the Community's awareness and increase
volunteerism for Dublin Pride Week
