Dear Friends,
We have a remarkable year ahead thanks to your continued support of
the Sonoma County Museum. Our art and storytelling workshops in the
community are going strong with support from The James Irvine
Foundation, and the Museum’s free school tour program will provide
hands-on art and history activities to hundreds of students in Sonoma
County.
I am especially excited to tell you that the Museum will premiere the
first American art exhibition about an important but little-known event
in U.S.-Korean history called Camellia Has Fallen: Contemporary Korean
Artists Reflect on the Jeju Uprising. This is a project that I’ve been
working on for the past two years together with curator An Hyekyoung
in Santa Rosa’s Sister City of Jeju, South Korea. The Uprising, or “4.3
Incident” as it is better known, broke out in 1948 during the period of
the U.S. Military Administration in Korea following the end of the Second
World War. Discussion of the Incident was banned for almost fifty years.
You won’t want to miss the Museum’s Jeju Special Weekend Event of
speakers and films in conjunction with Camellia Has Fallen. Five
speakers are coming from Jeju, including a curator, artist, author,
historian, and filmmaker. We will show the film Jisuel which received
the World Cinema Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the 2013 Sundance Film
Festival.
Also this year we are mounting an important show of California Indian
Cradle Baskets and the first traveling exhibition of Russian photographs
from Siberia. Watch for the exciting new series of art exhibits we will
hold at 505 B Street.
Finally I want to take the opportunity to thank you. The Sonoma County
Museum is your museum. Your involvement is a welcome validation of
our efforts to present appealing special exhibitions, care for and
preserve our collections, and bring delight and inspiration to our
community. We hope to see you soon at the Museum.

Camellia Has Fallen: Contemporary Korean Artists Reflect

www.sonomacountymuseum.org
Camellia Has Fallen is the first U.S. exhibition to focus
on the important artwork created in response to the
Jeju April 3 Uprising. The Uprising, or “4.3 Incident” as
it is better known, broke out in 1948 during the period of
the U.S. Military Administration in Korea following the
end of the Second World War. It lasted for seven years.
This exhibition focuses on issues of memory, revelation
and healing.

The 4.3 Incident is little known beyond Jeju Island, which
has a Sister City relationship with Santa Rosa. It is
estimated that approximately 20,000 to 30,000 people,
nearly a tenth of the population, were killed in the
Uprising. Information about the Incident was forcibly

suppressed in Korea until the U.S.-backed Rhee
Syng-man regime collapsed in April of 1960. In the realm
of Cold War politics, the Incident had been interpreted,
without any concrete evidence, as a Soviet-inspired Communist rebellion led by the South Korean Labor Party.
After a brief period of liberalization, public discussion of the Incident was again formally banned for twenty-six
years following the military coup d’etat of 1961. In 1978, novelist Hyun Ki-young wrote a collection of short stories
mentioning the Incident and was imprisoned and tortured for doing so.

It was not until the late 1980s that Jeju citizens were safe to begin uncovering the truth behind the Incident, and
the first report was not made public until 1995. In 2003, following the publication of the Investigation Report by
the National Committee for Investigation of the Jeju April 3 Incident, Korean President Roh Moo-hyun took the
dramatic step of making a formal public apology on Jeju Island “to the people of Jeju.” The Incident is memorialized on Jeju at the April 3 Peace Park that opened in 2008.
The title Camellia Has Fallen is taken from Kang Yo Bae’s painting and the folk story of red camellias falling like
drops of blood in the snow at the time of the April 3 uprising. Most of the artists selected for this exhibition are
represented at the Peace Park. Kang Yo Bae is the most senior and best known internationally. But the exhibition
also includes work by younger artists such as Park Kyoung Houn, Jane Jin Kaisen, Kyoungwon Moon, Kim Young
Hoon and many other sculptors, video artists, and animators. The exhibition was curated by Sonoma County
Museum Executive Director Diane Evans and An Hyekyoung, Director of Artspace C in Jeju with the assistance of
Sonoma County artist Mario Uribe and Liz Uribe.
Partial support for this exhibition comes from Artspace C, the Arts Council of Korea, the Jeju April 3 Peace
Foundation, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and Liz and Mario Uribe. A special thank you to the following
supporters who donated through the Museum’s online Razoo fundraiser, Seong Brown, Diane Evans, Yong Soon
Min and Judy Russeff.

Precious Cargo: California
Indian Cradle Baskets
and Childbirth Traditions
December 13, 2013– June 1, 2014
Opening Celebration:
January 11, 2014, 3-5pm
For centuries, California Indian people have relied on cradle
baskets as a way to carry their infants and keep them safe.
In addition to their functional attributes, they also play a role
in shaping a child's character and directing his or her future.
Today, renewed cultural pride among California Indians is
finding expression in the creation and gift-giving of
traditional cradle baskets. Many individuals are sharing
their knowledge about the gathering, sorting and weaving
techniques required to make cradle baskets. This exhibit
represents their story and the stories of those who've
played with, carried or occupied a cradle basket of their
own. The exhibition is on loan from the Marin Museum
of the American Indian.

Siberia in the Eyes of
Russian Photographers
June 14 – August 24, 2014
This exhibition brings photographs of Siberia by Russian
photographers to the U.S. for the first time. It provides
both a historical and current view of Siberia, as well as a
glimpse into its varied geography and diversity. Curated
by Lea Bendavid-Val and organized by the Foundation
for International Arts & Education, these photographs
span more than 150 years—between the 1860s and 2011.
The selection includes both older black-and-white images
and more modern color ones. Some scenes are what one
might expect to see, such as ice palaces, fur coats, walrus
hunts, tattooed prisoners and endless forested horizons.
The exhibit also offers unanticipated images: a funeral
pyre in use, a girl spinning three hula hoops at once and a
trans-Siberian railroad worker from 1912 captured in vivid
color.

505 B Street
Art Project
SCM commissioned three
artists to paint the
Museum-owned building at
505 B Street in Santa Rosa.
The concept was to
transform the building into
an art piece in anticipation
of the future art museum
on this site.

Snow), Carlos de Villasante
and Judy Kennedy have
extensive experience with
public art and graffiti
projects. Davis has
exhibited actively in
Sonoma County,
Washington State and
British Columbia since 2005
and has received numerous
awards for her artwork.
Born in Mexico City, artist
Carlos Villasante is an
Assistant Professor of Art at
Sonoma State University.
He previously taught at
Miami International
University of Art and
Design and has exhibited
actively throughout the
U.S. Judy Kennedy is a

Collections
Update
Working diligently over the past year,
the Museum has completely
transformed its collections storage
and laid the groundwork for improved
collections care and management.
The Museum now has new shelving,
compact painting racks, and flat files in
our storage spaces. The staff is now
working to re-house the collection and
is assessing conservation needs.
SCM’s successful completion of the
National Endowment for the Arts
Challenge Grant (Collections Initiative)
raised $1 million for a collections
endowment that will support ongoing
collections activities.
Most of the Museum’s collections
work happens behind the scenes and
requires considerable resources both
staff and financial, to resolve
long-term issues with storage,
documentation, and conservation.
With the support of Category D
funding through Sonoma County’s
Advertising grant program, SCM
collections staff Jonathan Stuppin and
Ann Sebastian scanned and uploaded
hundreds of historic photographs to
the Museum’s database. Volunteer
Coordinator Cynthia Leung has also
been supervising teams of volunteers
to sort and re-house the Museum’s
collections. We’d like to thank Kristi
Rice and Heather Lyn Caldwell for their
work and continuing efforts on behalf
of the collection.

Peace Tree Sculpture
The Museum worked with artist Mario Uribe to create a
collaborative "Peace Tree" sculpture connecting families in
gang-impacted neighborhoods of Sonoma County. The
sculpture was installed in the Museum’s sculpture garden in
September 2013 through the partial support of the National
Endowment for the Arts.
The design for the sculpture developed from a series of
workshops with U.S. and South Korea high school students
in February 2013 that took place at Uribe’s Santa Rosa
studio. The students participated in a Museum-organized
project called “North-South: Art as a Tool to Mediate Social
and Political Conflict.” This project was a partnership
between SCM and the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art,
Ansan, South Korea with a goal to compare the human side
of the parallel experiences of living in neighborhoods
affected by the Norteño-Sureño gang conflict in Northern
California, and of living near to the Demilitarized Zone in
Korea.
Uribe selected the visual components of the Peace Tree
sculpture to be both recognizable and culturally sensitive.
The steel base of the tree has a rusted patina in which a
series of words and symbols are engraved in large lettering.
The words were gathered from an anonymous comment
box placed at Elsie Allen High School. The box asked, “How
is your life impacted by gangs?” The Nopal Cactus at the top
is the strongest and most recognizable symbol that the
dominant Northern California gangs, the Norteños and
Sureños, have in common. This plant is something they can
all embrace as a part of their cultural roots – their Familia.
The following individuals worked on the Peace Tree project:
Ahn Soomin (Poongduk High School), Gloria Aquilera (Elsie
Allen High School), Seong Brown (Community volunteer),

Programs & Activities
Jeju Special Weekend Event:
Two Days of Speakers & Films
In conjunction with the exhibition Camellia Has Fallen, the
Museum will present candid discussions of the art and
history of the Jeju 4.3 Incident. Below is the tentative
schedule. Please check the Museum’s website at
www.sonomacountymuseum.org for updated information
and to reserve your tickets.
Saturday, February 8, 2014:
Welcome and Introduction By Curators- Diane Evans
and An Hyekyoung.
Artist Kang Yo Bae- Speaks about his paintings
in the exhibition.
Historian Kim Jongmin- Kim was a reporter for
newspaper Jemin-Ilbo and a senior staff member
of the 4.3 Committee.
Oh Seok Hoon, The 1st Killing Report, 1996, video projection.
Dr. Christine Hong– Speaks about the Korean War. Hong
is the Professor of Literature, University of California, Santa Cruz.
Author Hyun Ki-young– Speaks about the Jeju 4.3 Incident.
Hyun is best known in English for his novel Sun-i Samch’on, which was the first ever written about the Jeju
massacre. Shortly after it was released in 1978 in a collection of stories, Hyun was arrested and tortured
for three days. He served as the Managing Director of the National Literary Writers Association
(2000–2001) and as the President of the Korean Arts & Culture Foundation (2003). Hyun was also the
director of the Committee for the Investigation of the April 3rd Jeju Uprising as well as the President of the
Jeju Institute for the Investigation of Social Problems.
Film Jisuel (2012) - World Cinema Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival
Written and directed by Jeju native O Muel, Jisuel also won the Cyclo d'Or, the top prize at the 2013 Vesoul
International Film Festival of Asian Cinema. The film is shot in black and white with the entire cast
composed of local actors speaking their natural dialect. "Jiseul" means "potato" in Jeju dialect. Set during
the Jeju Uprising on the island in 1948, O said the film does not focus on the large-scale struggle, but
instead on a forgotten true story about a group of villagers who hid in a cave for 60 days to escape from a
military attack. They hid underground for months, cold and numb, far too close for comfort -- just like the
potatoes to which the title refers.

Panel discussion – Contemporary Korean Artists Reflect on the Jeju Uprising
Panelists:
Kim Jongkil, Art Critic
Yong Soon Min, Associate Professor, Studio Art, U.C. Irvine
Kang Yo Bae, Artist
Film Jeju Prayer (2012) - Introduction by filmmaker Im Heungsoon
Focusing on the life of Mrs. Kang Sang-hee who lost her husband in Jeju 4.3 Incident (April 3rd, 1948), the
film views the dark-side of Jeju Island hidden underneath its fancy tourist attraction image. It shows that
the tragedy still continues with the recent Jeju Naval Base controversy. Jeju Prayer has been shown at
numerous film festivals including the 13th Jeonju International Film Festival (2012, Korea), Butterfly Award,
6th Cinema Digital Seoul Film Festival (2012, Korea), 4th DMZ Korean International Documentary Festival
(2012, Korea), and 38th Seoul Independent Film Festival (2012, Korea).
Film Memory of Forgotten War
This documentary about the Korean War was directed and produced by Deann Borshay Liem and Ramsay
Liem. Memory of Forgotten War conveys the human costs of military conflict through deeply personal
accounts of the Korean War (1950-1953) by four Korean-American survivors. Their stories take audiences
through the trajectory of the war, from extensive bombing campaigns to day-to-day struggles for survival,
and separation from family members across the DMZ. Decades later, each person reunites with relatives in
North Korea, conveying beyond words the meaning of family loss.

Lilia Kilmartin and Maneesha Moua to learn about the documentary process
and film a relative’s story. The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, in
partnership with Smithsonian Affiliations and the Center for Asian American
Media, presents “Young Historians, Living Histories.” Funding is provided by
the Smithsonian Youth Access Grants Program administered by the Office of
the Smithsonian Assistant Secretary for Education and Access. This program
is a continuation of the Museum’s Sonoma Stories initiative that records the
oral histories about the people living and working in our community.

Art and Storytelling
Exploring Engagement Grant from
the James Irvine Foundation
The Sonoma County Museum received a two-year
Exploring Engagement Fund grant from The James Irvine
Foundation to increase active involvement in the arts
among Sonoma County’s low-income, culturally diverse
immigrant families through art workshops in
non-traditional venues.
The Museum completed the first community workshop at
Bayer Farm in Santa Rosa with twenty participants of
different ages, male and female, and many more viewers
cheering from the sidelines. Landpaths site manager
Jonathan Bravo was instrumental in helping the Museum
organize and recruit participants. The sessions occurred
weekly in September with the exhibition for the Bayer
Farm community in October. SCM contracted local
nonprofit Listening for a Change to interview and film the
participants.

exhibition at Bayer Farm, October 2013.
Sonoma County artists Mario Uribe, Linda Schroeter and
Fred Vedder and SCM Education Curator Cynthia Conway
lead the workshops. The Museum will work with the
same artists on three more community workshops in
2014. Workshop sites include a local cultural center, a
senior center, a community center and a school.
Participants produce Bodymaps and Life Masks as part of
a well-established art therapy process enabling people
with no formal artistic training to explore their personal
and family stories and to illustrate these with paint,
collage and drawing. A final exhibition featuring the
artworks is slated to appear in the Museum in 2015.
The James Irvine Foundation is a private, nonprofit grantmaking
foundation dedicated to expanding opportunity for the people
of California to participate in a vibrant, successful and inclusive
society. The Foundation’s grantmaking focuses on three
program areas: Arts, California Democracy and Youth. Since
1937 the Foundation had provided over $1.3 billion in grants to
more than 3,500 nonprofit organizations throughout California.
With about $1.6 billion in assets, the Foundation made grants of
$69 million in 2013 for the people of California.

Japan Trip
In October and November, Board Member Liz Uribe and her husband Mario led two groups of travelers to Japan on
behalf of the Sonoma County Museum. Both Liz and Mario have lived in Japan and have developed an extensive
list of art contacts there. The groups spent time at the Oomoto Shinto retreat, where they learned about the
Japanese tea ceremony and traditional bathing, and visited with author and art expert Alex Kerr at his home. They
visited numerous shrines including Tenryu-ji, Ryoan-ji, Sanjusangendo Temple and Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine.
Highlights of the trip included a visit to Isamu Noguchi’s studio and museum, the Mijo Museum, and to Naoshima
Art Island and the Chichu Museum. Travelers met ceramist Hideki Nishijima and national-treasure ceramist
Kaneshige Toyo who is credited with reviving Bizen ceramics. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the private
home of art collector Yasuyoshi Morimoto who has one of the finest private collections of Chinese, Tibetan and
Japanese art.
The Museum is excited to find unique travel opportunities and experiences. Stay tuned for more!

Planned Giving: The Trione
Legacy Circle
When you make a legacy gift to the Museum, you ensure our future.
To honor those forward-looking individuals who include the Museum in
their financial or estate plans, the Museum has created the Trione Legacy
Circle. Henry Trione’s generous and longstanding support of Sonoma
County Museum has inspired us to name the Trione Legacy Circle,
honoring those members of our community who have let us know that
we are included in their estate plans. As Henry says, “There’s no luggage
rack on the hearse.”
Henry has supported the Museum from the very beginning, giving a
founding donation to help move the Post Office building to its current
location on Seventh Street. He supports our present activities with
regular gifts to the Annual Fund and other appeals. He also supports
our future in perpetuity, having notified us that we are included as a
beneficiary in his estate plan. Henry is looking forward to a strong future for our Museum.
We invite you to join him. Members of the Trione Legacy Circle receive special recognition and benefits and know
that they are making a difference and setting a meaningful example. We welcome bequests of cash or other

Doug Martin & Merrill Vargo
"We believe that the Sonoma County Museum plays an important role in
the artistic and intellectual life of our community. We are happy to
include the Museum in our estate planning in order to help the Museum
have the resources to grow and prosper in the future. "
- Doug Martin and Merrill Vargo
Doug Martin and Merrill Vargo have lived in Sonoma County for more than 30 years. They moved here when Doug
took a position on the Chemistry faculty at Sonoma State University. Since retiring a few years ago Doug has been
able to spend his time on music -- he is a jazz piano and saxophone player – and on furniture-making. Merrill’s
move to the county saw a transition from university English teacher to the non-profit world. Merrill founded and
directs Pivot Learning Partners, a school-reform organization based in San Francisco, which works with many school
districts throughout California and in several other states.
Doug and Merrill learned about the Sonoma County Museum upon moving into downtown Santa Rosa from their
home in Bennett Valley. But it soon became apparent to them that the Museum was “doing many interesting
things” to “a vital community institution.” Doug began volunteering at the Museum, mostly helping Eric Stanley
install exhibits and move the history collection. In addition to the wonderful exhibits, Doug and Merrill have
enjoyed Museum-sponsored activities like the Oliver Ranch tour and the evening at the MacDonald Mansion. The
event at the Mansion was even more enjoyable for them because they volunteered as docents. Many thanks to
Doug and Merrill for their commitment to the long-term financial stability of the Museum!

Michael and Honey Panas
Mike and Honey Panas were long-time residents of
Sonoma County and appreciated the bounty that this
county offers. To help ensure the Museum can
continue to thrive for years to come, Mike and Honey
created an estate plan that included a Charitable
Remainder Trust. Both were born in San Francisco,
Mike in 1914 and Honey in 1917, and put roots down
in Sonoma County early in their lives.
Honey’s father, a Greek immigrant, worked his way up
to the top of the dairy business and spent a lot of time
in Sonoma County. Mike’s cousin started a tomato
farm in Rincon Valley in 1919 and later a produce
business in downtown Santa Rosa. It was there where
Mike would come to work on weekends, school
vacations and summers.
Mike and Honey met through their activities in the
Greek Church in San Francisco. They married in 1939
and lived in Santa Rosa until Mike was drafted in 1943.
After World War II they lived in Guerneville and in
1948 were able to find a place and settle permanently
in Santa Rosa. This was where they raised their
children and became very active and trusted
volunteers in dozens of local community organizations
over the years. Mike and Honey remained in Santa
Rosa until their passing, Honey in 2005 and Mike in
2013 at nearly 99 years old.
Honey started volunteering at the Sonoma County
Museum even before the current Museum opened.
In those days, the "Museum" was located in a spare
upstairs room made available by Great Western
Savings and Loan on Fourth Street. Both she and Mike
were active Museum supporters. Given their long
history in Sonoma County and Santa Rosa, it’s no
surprise they both developed a love for the history and
beauty of Sonoma County. Both had a strong desire to
preserve a record of the history and culture of the
county.
We are grateful to the Panas Family for their foresight
to plan for the Museum in their estate. For more
information on how you can do this contact
Hélène Hogue at 707-579-1500 x 16.

Celebrating Longstanding Donors
Lorna Drake
Lorna Drake has been a Museum supporter for almost twenty
years. She was initially invited to join as Board Secretary in
1985 and has been an active contributor of financial support to
the Museum’s annual giving program.
As a local teacher, she was particularly interested in the
education programs and became a docent and volunteer with
Visitor Services. “I have always been interested in learning
about the people who visit, why they visit and where they’re
from,” said Lorna. “I also really liked being in the old building.
I thought that was ‘cool’ as the kids would say.” Lorna Drake is
the author of Just Before Yesterday: A History of Sonoma
County, California, which sold out in the Museum shop.
These days Lorna continues to show her support as a Museum
member and with Annual Fund donations. She says she
continues to be a supporter because “it’s smart to remember
where we came from and work from there towards bettering
ourselves.” The Museum is grateful to Lorna for her
unwavering support. Thank you!
Carole Rackerby
Carole Rackerby is a long-time Santa Rosa resident who has
been involved with the Sonoma County Museum since its
formation in 1979. She was a founding member of the
Auxiliary Committee which focused primarily on fundraising
efforts and continued for more than thirty years.
Now retired, Carole worked as a registered nurse for thirty-five
years at Memorial Hospital and her husband, Jack, was a
teacher at Santa Rosa High School. She said it was natural for
them to be involved as they had a philanthropic mindset. “I
used to come every Sunday to be a docent. I greatly enjoyed all
of the people and learning about all of the exhibits. And I was
really proud of all the fundraising events I helped organize.”
For Carole, Parkinson’s disease and poor eyesight now prevent
her from attending the Museum’s exhibits and events. But she
continues to renew her membership annually and makes a
monthly gift to the Museum. “I can’t enjoy the events anymore
but I can help financially for whatever the Museum feels it
needs. It helps to make sure the history is here to stay.”
SCM knows that individuals like Carole and Jack are essential to
our success. Thank you!

From the Volunteer Coordinator’s Desk:
This fall the Sonoma County Museum had a very eventful season, which means that all of our volunteers have been
very busy as well. The Museum relies upon our hard-working volunteers in all of our activities from the front desk
to collections to special events.
As of October our volunteers have put in more than a whopping 4,500 hours this year. In August more than twenty
volunteers helped to make the McDonald Mansion fundraiser a memorable experience. Our docents gave tours of
the house interior and the garden and other volunteers helped with set-up and check-in, as well as
clean-up. In September our volunteers pitched in to help with the Brain Event, an opening reception, and a Block
Party, all very large events needing much man- or woman-power. The Museum’s volunteers have not only worked
an impressive number of hours, but they have attracted the attention of the Santa Rosa City Council and were
awarded a 2013 Merit Award in recognition of their commitment to the Sonoma County Museum. Bravo! The
Museum staff agrees that we have the best and the most dedicated volunteers in Santa Rosa! Thank you to all of
our volunteers and interns.
If you are looking for a place to volunteer and make your mark on the community, the Museum’s volunteers and
staff invite you to join us. Cynthia Leung is the Museum’s Volunteer
Coordinator at [email protected].
Jonathan Stuppin, son of artist
Jack Stuppin, began his tenure at
SCM as a volunteer, but quickly
earned the title of Curatorial
Assistant and became indispensible.
Jonathan is a native Northern
Californian. He attended Whitman
College in Washington State, earning
his degree in Theatre Arts with a
specialty in Italian Renaissance
drama and Commedia dell'Arte.
His favorite pastimes include
drawing and reading. At SCM,
Jonathan helps install exhibits, move
and relocate collection items and
maintain gallery and workshop
areas. We are very fortunate to
have him on our staff.
Marilyn Turner has volunteered at
the Sonoma County Museum for
more than twenty years. You can
find her at the front desk of the
Museum on Wednesday mornings.

long-term volunteers. He helps us
with special events and procuring

Collectibles Sale
The Museum held a Collectibles Sale
on November 16 and 17. This event
served a double purpose as a public
sale of items determined to be
unsuitable for the Museum’s
collection and was a membership
drive. Proceeds were restricted to
benefit the Museum’s collection.
Only Members were able to shop on
November 16 and received 10% off
on November 17. On November 17
the sale was open to the public. We
were busy both days and sold more
than twenty memberships!
Three hard-working women: They volunteered for one afternoon to help us
price items for our Collectibles Sale and ended up coming in almost every day
for two weeks! From left to right: Kim Aflague, Jessica Teem and Judy Angell.
The Sonoma County Museum relied
on the help of many volunteers to
move the collections from our Rohnert
Park and Santa Rosa storage facilities, sort through the collection, move and prepare the items for sale and to work
on the sale days. We’d like to thank all of these volunteers for all of their hard work, including Boy Scout Troop 121
who helped us at the sale.
The Museum plans a second collectibles sale in 2014.
We ask for donations of antiques, collectibles and art.
Drop-offs can be made at the Museum on
Thursdays starting in January.
Contact [email protected].
No clothing or broken items will be accepted.

Awards
It was a busy fall for the Museum as we were thrilled
to be recognized with three different awards. In late
October Executive Director Diane Evans was awarded
the North Bay Business Journal’s 2013 Nonprofit
Leadership Award for organizational accomplishments
and contributions to the community. She was recognized
at their second annual Nonprofit Leadership Awards
ceremony alongside twelve other local recipients.
Accepting the Santa Rosa City Merit Award for Community Service

Each year the City of Santa Rosa recognizes individuals
Ganzler, Michael McCauley, Peter Giglio, and Rosalie
and organizations that have contributed to the quality of
Sulgit-Shay together with the Mayor of Santa Rosa, Scott Bartley
life in Santa Rosa with the Merit Awards. On November
4, the city awarded our dedicated volunteers in the area
of “expanding and enriching the artistic and historical culture of the city.” A group of SCM volunteers was present
at Santa Rosa City Hall to accept the award on behalf of all of our dedicated volunteers and docents.
The North Bay Bohemian presented Diane Evans and the SCM with a Boho Award. For the past sixteen years, the
publication has honored places and the people behind the scenes who have made significant contributions to the
arts in the North Bay. Evans accepted the award on November 7 at their ceremony at the Sebastopol Center for
the Arts.
