Previously the Committee developed a branding logo that the community could associate with Dublin
Pride Week. The attached brochure (Attachment 1) and informational flyers utilize the branding logo
"Our City Our Home" with the 2006 slogan "Planet Dublin!" The slogan is an effort to recognize Dublin's
contribution to the global community and encourages people to work to improve our world through
environmental awareness and vo1unteerism as supported by the Dublin Pride Week activities.
The proposed 2006 Dublin Pride Activities are as follows:
Poster Contest:
The poster contest has been a Dublin Pride Week tradition for many years. The Dublin San Ramon
Women's Club has again volunteered to organize and manage the contest. The Poster Contest is open to
all Dublin students grades K-12. Winning artwork will be printed in the Tri-Valley Herald and displayed
at the Civic Center. Awards will be handed out at a Dublin City Council Meeting.
School Giveaways:
Dublin Pride promotional items will be given to each child that attends school in Dublin. This year's

as well as "window clings" and environmental educational coloring and activity books.
