Unexpected icing on the cake was being offered a free oil change donated by DMV Clinic, in appreciation for my volunteering. I greatly appreciate the opportunities BBBS provides for adult “Bigs” to be matched with “Littles” in need of extra support and love in life. It’s the most gratifying volunteer experience I have ever had. Thanks to this wonderful non-profit organization I became a volunteer mentor for a delightful middle school girl at the beginning of this year. I want to thank Big Brothers, Big Sisters and DMV Clinic auto shop. Thank you Big Brothers Big Sisters and DMV Clinic Carolyn and Curt Coleman, Senderos Board members We are so lucky to have this treasure in our community with its doors open to all of us! Senderos is proud to be a partner with the MAH in bringing the rich Mexican culture and performing arts to Santa Cruz. They clearly saw, as we do, the MAH’s commitment to cultural bridging and celebrating diversity everyday. One of the reasons the Kinsey family knew they wanted to bring their exhibit to the MAH was that all of the signage in the museum is bilingual English/Spanish. The recent opening of the renowned The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection Exhibition at the MAH is just the most recent example of how the museum is a leader of Santa Cruz’s spectacular cultural and artistic community. The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History is a finalist for the National Medal Award, one of the highest honors given to museums in the U.S. This event is destined to be a fixture on the Santa Cruz musical scene for many years to come. If you missed it, don’t let that happen again. How about a big round of applause for Kylan DeGhetaldi’s Santa Cruz Ragtime Festival of last weekend? I attended a festival two years ago that was in it’s 16th year, and it was nothing compared to what Kylan brought to Santa Cruz. Ragtime Fest destine to be a fixture in Santa Cruz The entire BroPrints organization deserves huge accolades for their support of our AVID program and the entire Santa Cruz Community. Moreover, Aaron even presented the shirt-making process to my students as a guest speaker. Aaron created the perfect shirt to represent our program on field trips to universities and trade schools. Aaron worked with the class to make their T-Shirt design turn into reality. The 8th grade AVID class at San Lorenzo Valley Middle School sends a sincere thank you to Aaron Clark and his business, BroPrints. BroPrints helped make student designs a reality
