Successful Viva Arts Gala Raises $50,000 for Civic Arts!It was a night of fantastic fun and fundraising at the Shadelands ballroom on Friday,

February 7, when more than 200 arts patrons turned out in support of arts education

funding through the Friends of Civic Arts Education Foundation. The sold-out gala

raised approximately $50,000, an all-time high for the annual event.

Funds raised at Viva Arts help provide scholarships for low-income residents to

participate in arts education programs in Walnut Creek Civic Arts. Funds also support

the Foundation’s mission to advocate for the arts with the City of Walnut Creek and

provide program support.

The Friends Foundation’s annual Viva Arts gala treated party-goers to a festive “night

in Paris” with a French-themed party featuring live gypsy jazz, vintage French wines, a

Parisian-style dinner and delicious French cheeses and desserts. The highlights of the

evening were music and dancing provided by talented CAE students and instructors.

French can-can dancers from the CAE dance program greeted everyone at the door with

a flourish, and cello and flute music provided a lovely backdrop as guests checked in

and picked up a glass of bubbly to kick off the festivities.

The event also featured a wine pull, silent auction, Fund-a-Need paddle raise to donate

directly to scholarships and a lively live auction led by auctioneer Damon Castico. The

live auction proceeds this year set a Foundation record. The hottest live items this year

included: a trip for two to Canada, an aerial tour of the Sonoma Valley with wine tasting

and lunch, and getaway packages to Mendocino and Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

Mayor Kristina Lawson did the emcee honors, and Arts Commissioner Polly Bradbury

was a featured speaker. In addition, many elected officials, former elected officials and

civic leaders came out to support arts education. The Friends Foundation was proud to

have as Platinum Sponsors this year Chevron and Bank of the West. Additional major

sponsors of the event included Coit Financial Group and Michael & Denise Weiner (Gold

Sponsors); Heritage Bank and Diane Longshore & Ron De Golia (Bronze Sponsors).

THE GIFTS OF AGING

We will explore elderhood from many perspectives within the

context of aging. We all have certain insights, potentials, and

expectations as well as experiences, opportunities, and growth

that help define our process of aging. So, what’s it like living in

elderhood? It is a time to grow–as someone once said–in “Age,

Wisdom and Grace’. This is your opportunity to explore your

unique aging experiences and to metabolize those experiences for

the wisdom to be found there. The class will help accelerate that

process through input, discussion, sharing, and readings in a safe,

quiet place for reflective insight. We will also explore aging using

models from Maslow, Erickson, Eberle, and Cohen.

is a great start. Children who have had more school or play

group experiences will find Little Walnut camp a perfect

make sure that your child has a wonderful summer!
