Deal art, fake earthquakes, Red & White Ball news, and more – Sonoma Sun

Posted on May 1, 2022 by Sonoma Valley Sun

It’s not a pretty picture in the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, at least behind the scenes, as workers have taken steps to form unions. In late March, employees who said they represented an overwhelming majority submitted a letter to Executive Director Linda Keaton requesting recognition of the United Cultural Workers organization. But, to introduce a free reference to Van Gogh, this request fell on deaf ears. “We welcome dialogue with our employees because we always look to be a place of inclusion, equity, access and diversity,” Keaton said. So far, it’s still a stable no. Then, like Monet Water Lily to Munch’s Scream, things went from quiet to ugly. The union is now turning to the formal ratification procedure with the National Action Council. According to the organizers, “the Museum, as its statutory board, has retained one of the nation’s leaders in the union-busting industry, Jackson Lewis, a measure that is “fundamentally inconsistent with the Museum’s efforts to become a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive space for both workers and society.” The pro-union campaign is confident of They will win.” “The plans of the great majority of us to stay together through whatever anti-union campaign the Museum chooses to participate in.” Get ready for a long blue time.

Did you feel the fake earthquake on April 28th, or did you not get the fake memo? State agencies selected the Sonoma Development Center campus to conduct their annual emergency response exercises. About 700 first responders participated, dealing with “numerous building collapses, multiple injuries, trapped or missing victims, damaged roads and bridges, and the uncontrolled release of hazardous materials.” Again, just a test.

Sonoma Valley Hospital now offers free mammograms to uninsured and uninsured Sonoma Valley women age 40 and older. The show programme, known as Project Pink, was only one month away, October. But thanks to a grant from the Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation, it is now offered year-round. It’s free, but certain restrictions apply. To sign up for Project Pink or for more information, call 707.935.5215.

The City of Sonoma has appointed Mike Berger as its new director of public works. Berger has over 30 years of civil engineering experience and comes to Sonoma from the Napa Department of Public Works. Here, he will oversee a management budget of more than $10 million and a crew of 20 full-time employees responsible for the city’s water and transportation systems, parks, and cemeteries. He replaced Colin Ferguson, who retired after nearly five years on the job…Berger grew up in Sonoma, attended Santa Rosa Junior College, and earned a civil engineering degree from the University of California, Davis. “Having grown up in Sonoma, I already have a deep appreciation for the city, its history, and its citizens. I am very excited to apply my diverse skills and experience to municipal public works in a community that has always been very dear to me.”

The Sonoma Valley Education Foundation will bring its signature fundraising event, the Red & White Ball, to a live concert at Sonoma Plaza this summer, revealing a new look. With a more casual approach and a cheaper price, the traditional party will now be a “community celebration,” says Angela Ryan, CEO of SVEF, including picnic-style dining and a family-centric atmosphere. “We are pleased that the generosity of donors has given us the confidence to host a more inclusive event that helps families, donors, and the community at large feel more invested, engaged, and connected with our public schools and each other.” Ticket sales ($40) open in June, with tiered prices available. Save the date: August 27.

Remember the movie Dirty Dancing, when Baby and Johnny had the time of their lives? The venue was a fictional Catskills resort based on the real-life Grossinger’s Catskill Resort, the jewel of the Porsche Belt. This, in turn, inspired Saturday Night at Grossman’s, the musical comedy that is now getting production at Andrews Hall’s Sonoma Arts Live. One of the stars is Danny Beam. “I’m having a great time embodying Jenny Grossinger and peeking into this long lost world of luxury and entertainment,” Beam told page 3. History is very rich. It’s a fun, funny, and touching show.” Schtick that on your calendar.
