TINKERING/FOUND OBJECT ASSEMBLAGE
Tinkering is what happens when you try something you don’t quite
know how to do, guided by whim, imagination and curiosity. When
you tinker, there are no instructions--but there are also no failures,
no right or wrong ways of doing things. We’ll use real wood, real
hand tools and your imagination to create contraptions that roll,
float and move. Our process will start with a doodle, a brainstorm
of ideas, and deal with challenges, design and construction of
individual projects.

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).

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

Tenderfoot campers are a little younger than our Little Wal-
nuts. If your child has not yet started preschool, Tenderfoot
is a great start. Children who have had more school or play
group experiences will find Little Walnut camp a perfect
fit. Whichever camp you choose, our program leaders will
make sure that your child has a wonderful summer!

ANTI-BULLYING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM
Through lessons, skits and discussions, this camp will teach
skills to defuse uncomfortable situations. It will help build skills
for conflict resolution, anti-bullying and the confidence to be a
happier child. At the conclusion, a stage-like play for parents will
be presented, as children will have gained tools to know they are
capable of achieving success, are loveable, and deserve respect.
They will carry away photos, art, strategies and memories from
this exciting experience!

BEFORE REGISTERING FOR SWIM LESSONS:
The aquatics program offers a variety of classes for all ages. Find
the class that is right for you! Please read the course descrip-
tions and prerequisites carefully. It is important to register your
child for the proper class. Placing your child in the correct class is
crucial for his/her development. Please know that it may take your
child more than one class session to graduate to the next level.
Transfers between classes may only be at the discretion of aquat-
ics staff. Parents may request transfers prior to the first day of the
class. An evaluation of the student may take place the first through
third day of a session. Instructors reserve the right to re-place your
child if needed. Spaces cannot be “held”. To register please com-
pletely fill out the registration slip. List your 2nd and 3rd choices
