I am interested in serving on the commission for many reasl~h'~Y OF DUBL · I love Dublin .. · I care about my city and want others to feel pride like I do · I believe this commission is vital to the city' s-future · I have enough drive, talent and enthusiasm to make a difference Growing up in a young bedroom community in Southern California, I loved walking the hills and streets. I felt safe there and connected to the area through school and church. People did not move in and out quite as quickly as today's world. But, looking back at all Hacienda Heights had to offer, there was a key element missing - the knowledge of it's past. We did not have a downtown, a civic center or a museum full of area relics. We did not have "local art displays, a fountain or a Friday night flee concert. I alone made myself feel connected. What about the people in Dublin who do not have a clue or an opportunity to embellish this feeling? The opportunities in our Dublin community are so much more. We are sitting on a gold mine just waiting to dig. Dublin has it all! As this city grows, the need for this commission becomes more apparent. There will always be shopping, restaurants, gas stations and agencies to support the various concerns of the city. But, a city must create the atmosphere for art. It must make time for it's past. This is the true key to it's future. 2. I am an active adult member of the Boy Scouts of America, Twin Valley District. Over the past 12 years I have served in various positions as an adult leader to our youth in grades 2 through 12. I have also served on district and council fundraising committees. I have served on adult i~,ader training courses for Boy Scouts and Janet L. Fasulkey have taught adult classes at the Cub Scout level. I have received many awards for my positions and service to youth. 3. My experiences serving on advisory committees, boards or commissions are as follows: · I was volunteer project coordinator for Dublin Hills Estates neighborhood landscape committee from 1991 through 1993. As a coordinator I became the liaison for the project committee, and the City Public Works Dept. as well as MCE, DSRSD and Zone 7. The landscape committee (neighborhood volunteers) received funds from three entities to populate the baron hills surrounding their homes with over 70 trees, and 300 shrubs and plants. It received city recognition as one of the largest volunteer efforts made in the city's history. Over 50 friends and neighbors helped out. · I was a member of a committee to place permanent art in the Stagecoach Park on Stagecoach Road in Dublin. As a four member committee, we worked with the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation, the City of Dublin, and the Parks and Recreation department to develop and choose the type of art and artist to design the beautiful mosaic work that is there today. I learned a lot about area, space, history and public reaction while serving on this committee. 4._ I have an Associates of Science Degree in Fashion Merchandising. I have an artful eye for color, texture, and design. I love interior design and outdoor landscape. Having come from Irish decent and the love of California, I feel I will have no problem in comprehending the needs of portraying the heritage & art beyond the classroom environment. 2 _Janet L. Fasulkey Due to my time consuming involvement with the BSA organization over several years, my participation with the artistic, cultural and historic activities have been passive. I attend the Heritage celebration, Saint Patrick's Day festivities, and Pasta Festivals to name a few. During my son Jeff' s Eagle Project, I became familiar with the center and all of the work devoted by people like Bonnie Leonard. Jeff restored the pews in the Old Saint Raymond's church for his project. I spent time browsing the Heritage center during those days and was amazed at the number of items that were on display. I assisted our Cub Scout Pack in the clean up of the cemetery thinking then of it' s importance to our community and .how we must take an active role preserving it. I only wished then that the time were available to me. Fortunately, that time is now. 7. Limited · I am knowledgeable of Foundation' s involvement with the schools in the community. · I understand the process for the Art in the City Parks. · I see the influence the Foundation has over the Civic Center by it's fine displays inside and out. First of all, I am a representative of those neighbors and organizations. I fit into all categories as an active citizen. I also believe in the political process and majority rights. I do not want to make a controversial or unpopular decision without the fair knowledge and understanding of my community. But, I know that the vision I hold contains style, class, and consideration for all people. We are made up of our past and again, we must bring that to our future. I respect the wishes and 3anet L. Fasulkey needs of people and I feel that open-mindedness is the best policy. The most important contribution I would like to make to this Commission is my enthusiasm to work for the betterment of our community. What a positive opportunity to express Dublin pride! I look forward to sharing my talents and visions. I believe that Dublin heritage and art must be visible from all vantagepoints of the city. By serving on this commission, I hope to accomplish the goal of making this happen. 10. The vision and purpose for this commission is one of a "worker bee" mentality. By bringing energy, talent and knowledge of art and heritage together in a numbered committee, we can acknowledge and focus on what the city really needs and wants. I feel this commission should not only depend on the input of the local populous, but also should seek help by visiting other cities for ideas. We need to do our homework. This commission must stay visible to the planning commission, the city council, and the businesses in the area, schools, churches and other agencies. I have been a firm believer that nothing happens unless the enthusiasm is there. My vision is not one of stodginess. I want to see, feel and enjoy what there is around me. I want to help create an environment that will be worth walking to and enjoying by all ages. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

I am interested in serving on the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission as both of these areas hold special interest for me. The Heritage Center has been unique in its value to our public schools (and me, as a previous teacher). Cultural Arts help us define ourselves and carry images of special experiences in our community. I would like to be part of the decision making required in developing the cultural arts in Dublin. 2. a. I am a member of California Retired Teachers Association Div. #85, representing the Tri~Valley. I am the Treasurer. b. I am also a member of phi Delta Kappa- an international educational fraternity. I am a charter member of the Diablo Chapter located here in the Tri-Valley. c. My husband and I are members of the Sierra Club and Nature Conservancy. 3. Experience serving on advisory committees, boards or commissions? Served on Dublin Heritage Center Advisory Committee from April' 95 -Dec. ' 98. In both California Retired Teachers and Phi Delta Kappa have served on the boards as well as held various offices. 4. Training or experience in arts or heritage? I have a Master's Degree in Performing Arts. Have had sofne training in oil painting and caHigraphy painting. 5. List the artistic, cultural, and/or historic activities in which you have participate{ particularly within the City of Dublin. I taught music in the Dublin elementary schools, both in classroom settings and as part of a Resource Teacher program at Nielsen School, as well as Girls' Chorus at Wells Intermediate School for 2 years. In the elementary school, primary emphasis was on songs that are an important part of our state and country' s culture and history. Over the years have done a number of musicals with elementary students, involving two classes to the entire school. ! participated in various activities at the Heritage Center. Hopefully, have been a resource for Bonnie Leonard in her search for early California information for the elementary children. 6. What knowledge do you have of the Dublin Heritage Center7 As we have lived in Dublin for 34 years, I am delighted that the Heritage Center has evolved into its current state. Historically, I remember the Green House that existed where Heritage Park does now, and the fact that the Pleasanton Fire Department burned the Fallon House as an exercise and by mistake. Since the Center has been restored and developed by the City, it has become a much more vital place. 7. What knowledge do you have of the programs sponsored by the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation? I am aware of much of the art work that has been selected and placed in our community. I like the globe at City Hall, as well as the "Reader" (in all kinds of weather). The new mosaic is quite attractive in the Park where it was placed. I do not care for the modern piece that looks like a collection of sewer pipes rescued after an earthquake. 8. I have no problem with making a decision for the overall good of the community. My views may or may not be popular with neighbors or organizations. However, I would hope that neighbors and organizations would express their opinions prior to the Commission making decisions. 9. What is the most important contribution you feel you can make as a member of the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission? I believe that I can draw on a rich and varied collection of experiences that will help in the development of this Commission' s role in the community. 10. My vision of the purpose of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission is that it should give continued support to the improvement and educational development of the Heritage Center and its activitied, as well as the cultural arts. The commission will need to establish a-definition of the various ways a community can offer culture to its citizens. In addition, policies will have to be developed for use of the Heritage Center, the original St. Raymond's church, and future highlighting of areas/items of artistic merit.

I chose to live in DubIin instead of I_,ivennore because of promise this community exhibited, and the diversity of DubIin residents. When I visited the Dublin Heritage Fair, I was dismayed at the low attendance at the event (so unlike other fairs in the region) and although the Dublin Heritage Center contained a wealth of information, there was no effort made to make it an educational opportunity for the general public, or to raise money to elevate the Center into the kind of living museum we could all take pride in. 2.

It is important to for a board to recognize that they are dealing with public funds, and should not dictate unacceptable "advant garde" images or words offensive to the general public. By the same token, a board should not fall victim to one vociferous person or group who may not represent the entire community. One solution is to compose a diverse board who could represent the entire commtmity. 9. Most important contribution ! can make... I feel that this new commission could use my experience in promoting cultural events, securing educational and cultural grants, and using the Center for venues of traveling exhibits from other organizations in California and the West. tO.. .. What is your vision of its purpose? My vision includes the following: · Promote the history of the rounding fathers (and mothers) who established Amador Valley and the town later known as Dublin. · Expand the Heritage Center into a first class living museum to attract tourists and provide a research center for historical study. · Provide an opporttmity for young artists and performers to develop their art. · Eicpand the education of arts (fine, traditional, ethnic, etc.) to all adults as well as children. · Develop collaborative efforts with colleges, universities, other historical museums, and most importantly, business and industry in the area.
