ANU VOURIKOSKI ENDOWMENT FUND 
We are grateful to celebrate the loving bequest by late Placer County artist Anu Vourikoski. Through her thoughtful legacy of giving, established by Placer Community Foundation, many valuable art programs will continue to receive financial support. This new permanent fund at Placer Community Foundation will pool donations of all sizes providing cumulative earnings on investments that are distributed as grants, via the Arts Council of Placer County.

SPECIAL DAY CLASS
Here is a quick update from Special Day Class at Franklin School: For our December art projects students made Christmas trees out of wood and used sand paper, acrylic paint, wood glue, paint brushes, trash bags (paint smocks), and ribbon. They did a fantastic job going step by step and watching scrap wood turn into a beautiful and original work of art to give to their parents. This project took over a week and I give it an A+. --Jen Brandt
