CLUB NEWS:
Membership = tba. Efforts to contact a missing few are ongoing.
We have lost several members during this membership drive.
PROGRAM: The speaker will be Evelisa Genova, the Executive Director at DrawBridge in San
Rafael, CA. From its earliest days, DrawBridge has created safe spaces where kids can express
themselves creatively, fostering resilience, belonging and creativity.
The first art groups launched at Hamilton Family Center and Marin Housing Center’s emergency
shelters—where the transformative power of creative practice quickly became clear. DrawBridge
offers free expressive arts programs for children and youth in under-resourced communities, many of
whom are experiencing housing instability. Grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive
practices, their programs foster creativity, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
Come and learn about this great program!
