Congratulations to Lisa Donlan

Downtown Art's 'LOCAL HERO' Award this year is going to Lisa Donlan for her work on behalf of schoolchildren in our community.  Councilwoman Rosie Mendez will present the award at the Festival (Dance Stage, 3:30pm).

Lisa has worked long and hard to advocate for a great public school education for all children.  She's become an expert on the ins and outs of city education policies and a strong, informed leader, trusted by many.  For the past 4 years, Donlan has served as President of the neighborhood Community Education Council. 

It's always a thrill to recognize the hard work and commitment of people like Lisa - people whose contribution isn't publicly applauded often enough.
