Discoveryscapes After Insecta
Prints by Foster Beigler
In the on going series, Discoveryscapes After Insecta, I am working with traditional linoleum and woodcut materials. I have a sense of connection with what went before, and also a connection with the digital age. I derive a sense of pleasure and exclusion from the world around me as my hands guide me while carving out thousands of little pieces of material from the flat surface of wood or linoleum.
Foster Beigler is a multi-media artist. She spent twenty-five years in international television as a photojournalist, an occupation that allowed her to travel the world extensively. She documented and published worldwide on twelve sets of Olympic Games covering the advances in television technology.

Luau was a Lu-WOW! at Little House
Over 100 guests turned out in their best Hawaiian shirts and skirts to sip mai-tais, dine on high island cuisine by Chef Larry Wong, be entertained by the Pacific Islander Performers, a Ukulele concert during dinner, and dance to the Jerry Jay Quartet.
Needless to say, "A great time was had by all!"

Volunteering at PV Unites the Generations
Friends, there's nothing like giving of your time and caring as a volunteer. At Peninsula Volunteers the word "volunteers" is not just for show - it's the heart of what we are!
There's an old joke regarding grandparents and grandchildren about why they get along so well: they have a "common enemy", the parents generation in between. All kidding aside, the feelings of being hustled aside when their brains and hearts and creativity are flowering are common to both the generations. Given the chance, they relate exceptionally well.
The story in the Menlo Park Patch is a very good illustration of that. Menlo Park Patch story about volunteering at PV.
Here's another one for you: Jacob and Chrissy Andriola of YMSL (Young Men’s Service League) prepare food for Peninsula Volunteers Meals on Wheels. The newly formed chapter of the national service organization pairs teenage boys with their moms to help others in the community.
If you would like to volunteer yourself (we need hundreds every year) or know someone who would like to do so, please call our Director of Community Volunteering, Mary Rached: (650) 322-0129 or email her at: mrached@peninsulavolunteers.org
