A few photos….

The last West End Bocce night of the season was well attended and the weather was cooperative. It was an evening with great food and company. We took our traditional last photo of the season…. thanks to Brian Howlett for taking our photo. To see more photos from bocce- go to Bocce 2011 in our photo gallery.

The 9th Street Mural Community has been completed except for the neighborhood names that will face each neighborhood.   We had over 30 volunteers help paint last Saturday!

The Mural Committee members: Denise Hill from St. Rose Neighborhood & Sher Ennis and Lea Barron-Thomas from West End Neighborhood started the project in the Summer of 2009. Their goal was to take a dark, uninviting space and make it friendlier and easy to maintain. It was a simple project but took a long time to get through the City of Santa Rosa Art in Public Places and CalTrans approval processes. We couldn’t have done it without  Tara Matheny-Schuster, Art Coordinator for City of Santa Rosa.

The Mural was funded by a City of Santa Rosa CAB grant. Mario Uribe created the design. ArtStart  was on hand to train the volunteers to use the stencils. We would also like to thank:  Our wonderful community volunteers. Friedman’s for graciously donating all the paint. The Coffee Girls for providing delicious coffee to our hardworking volunteers.   We couldn’t have done it with out you! THANK-YOU! For more photos go to 9th Street Community Mural.
