Welcome and thank you for coming to The Museum of the San Ramon Valley’s fourth annual “Back to School Under the Stars” gala. In normal times, this wonderful event would be at our beautiful and historic 1888 Tassajara Grammar School. In respect of everyone’s health, we have moved the physical event into the virtual realm for this year until we can safely gather once again. I hope that you enjoy this virtual event and auction. We plan to resume our in person gala next year and enjoy an evening of friends at the school.

Even though our school programs have been cut short and the Museum was closed for over a year, we are a strong organization and are happy that we are coming back. We have reopened back to our normal schedule while maintaining safe practices. We continue to collect and preserve Valley history and have presented on-line programs on Valley history. We have designed walking and drive around tours to Valley historic sites for families staying safe and just getting out. We are moving ahead with new, educational, and fun exhibits for this year and next.

As I mentioned last year, the heart and soul of any not-for-profit organization are the people that make up and support it. In our case, we have the support of generous donors, loyal members, and dedicated, talented, and hardworking volunteers and staff. You stayed with us during the dark days of the pandemic and thanks to you all, we continue to move ahead and do things that you can be proud of as we return to a more normal time.

Again, thank you for coming and I hope that you enjoy the event.

Daniel Dunn
Director
