Friends of Civic Arts Education Foundation

Reminiscing about the past, celebrating the present and dreaming about the future…

In 2005, small group of dedicated volunteers came together to form a new 501(c) (3)

organization, The Friends of Civic Arts Education Foundation. Their mission was

significant: To provide advocacy and funding for scholarships and program needs for

the City of Walnut Creek’s thriving Civic Arts Education program.

Guests raise their programs to

support scholarships for the arts.

On February 19, 2016, the Friends Foundation held their 10th Anniversary Viva Arts Celebration, “Hats

Off to the Arts”. Mayor Loella Haskew and Foundation President Nan Siegel welcomed guests and set

the tone for an exciting evening of fundraising. The event included a cocktail auction, awards for the

best hats, several raffles, and a Live Auction with 18 fabulous packages. Guests danced the night away

to the incredible sound of the Cosmo Alleycats. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, guests and

donors over $60,000 was raised in support of arts education.

Mayor Loella Haskew, Alan Bailey,

Verena Bailey and Jamie Broadhurst

Conflict is critical in both the development and maintenance of

healthy long-term relationships. In this workshop, we will examine

some truths that may initially seem counter-intuitive. For example,

we will address questions such as: How can conflict teach us

things about ourselves and our partners that we would not know

otherwise? How can conflict (done well) help us to love each more

fully and become a better team? Rather than avoiding tension,

might we actually be wise to accelerate into conflict in order to

strengthen our relationships? Although not required, attendance in

“How to Have a Good Fight” is highly recommended.
