PIERCE COLLEGE FOUNDATION

2010 - The Year of Valley Adventures

Under the direction of Dennis Washburn, the Pierce College Foundation works tirelessly to benefit that great community college and the entire San Fernando Valley. This merry-go-round on the Pierce College Farm Center has a mysterious past - some say that it may have once graced Lincoln Park in the inner city.

To me, the San Fernando Valley has always been a treasure house of amazing colors and images. I returned to live in the Valley when I was 14 and have enjoyed the richness and diversity of its many cultures since. Why not make 2010 your year to see the San Fernando Valley all over again. From the wonderful Thai Buddhist Temple to the Portal of the Folded Wings, there are wonderful things to do and see here. Join me this year by a visit to the Pierce College Farm Center in the Spring, an exploration of Walt Disney's Barn in Griffith Park, on The Museum's up coming walking tour of Van Nuys or the whole year of celebrations as Northridge marks its 100th anniversary.

IT'S TIME FOR CHRISTMAS TREES AT THE PIERCE COLLEGE FARM CENTER

2009 - The Year of Valley History

As holiday trees begin to arrive at the Pierce College Farm Center, it's a good time for The Museum of the San Fernando Valley to express its thanks and admiration to Dennis Washburn and his terrific Foundation staff for all that they have done for the Valley this year. With all of the difficulties in this unstable economy, keeping a foundation growing isn't any easy task. But thanks to the many folks who support the foundation, the "Grand Old Farm" still remains one of the great treasures of our city.
