A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our 5th Annual Sip & Paint at the Cesar Chavez Library!

It was inspiring to see the community gather to celebrate the rich agricultural heritage of the Salinas Valley.
By painting the fruits and vegetables that define our region, you helped us honor the local harvests that nourish families worldwide. Your participation does more than create art—it directly supports the Salinas Public Library by funding literacy programs and essential supplies beyond the standard budget.

We extend our deepest gratitude to:

* Craig Kaufman, Executive Director of the California Welcome Center, for his captivating and informative presentation on our agricultural heritage.
* Our Generous Sponsors—Star Market for donating the three gorgeous gift baskets and Safeway and Trader Joes in Marina—for donating the beautiful flowers for our raffle.
* Our FOSPL Volunteers, whose tireless energy, enthusiasm, and creativity truly bring these events to life.

Thank you for making this year’s Sip & Paint a masterpiece of community spirit!
