On May 5, RRHC received an $800 grant award from the Pleasant Hill Community Foundation at the Pleasant Hill Community Center. President Denise Koroslev graciously accepted the award on behalf of RRHC. Board directors Alison Clary, Aloma Levine, John Matthesen, Christian Rousset, and Marian Woodard were also present. Aloma and Marian are board member for both RRHC and PHCF, and Aloma made opening remarks before presenting a slideshow on past recipients of grant awards. RRHC will use the grant to replace the current sign in front of the site. Local dignitaries, including Mayor Ken Carlson, Councilmembers Sue Noack and Tim Flaherty, PHRPD General Manager Bob Berggren, and many others were present and everyone enjoyed wine and hors d’oeuvres. We are grateful for the grant and can’t wait to unveil our new sign soon. We'll keep you posted! |
