Her creative journey began at age seven in Taiwan when Morrison started training in Chinese Brush Painting from the renowned artist and professor F. J. Fu. After moving to the United States in 1987, she further studied art at Ohlone College, where she earned a Certificate in Painting and Ceramics, following which she took a job there as an assistant to the professor. For over ten years now, after retirement, Morrison has been working at her studio every day, creating delightful ceramic and glass pieces. She builds ceramic vases and fish using the “slab method” with intricate details, which she finds very calming and relaxing. To create glass arti- facts she uses the “cold fuse” method where she cuts pieces of colored glass, arranges them artfully, and fuses them together at 1,400 degrees in a kiln. Morrison is a member of the Association of Clay and Glass Artists of California (ACGA) and has showcased her work at their annual festival for many years. Her beautiful works of art can be viewed and purchased at the Palo Alto Clay and Glass Festival scheduled for the second weekend of July 2017. At the presentation, Morrison will be displaying some of her pieces and doing a demonstration with clay, making her favorite “puffer fish and coral” from scratch. The event is open to the public and free of charge. Refreshments will be served. For further information, please check the Guild website at www.olivehydeartguild.org.

ise Against Hunger doesn’t just want to R feed people today – it is targeting an end to worldwide hunger by the year 2030. Through its location in Hayward, four staff members direct one-time volunteers in the community to portion and pack 10,000 high protein meals in about two hours. When added to the group’s other national and international efforts, more than three million people had a reliable food source in 2016. Jordan Marvin, Northern California Community Engagement Manager, says that Rise Against Hunger’s additional focus on establishing community sustainability of food resources is key to providing support to 37 countries worldwide which suffer severe food shortage.

Competing robots had to lift yoga balls, fire wiffle balls, and much more. Washington High School freshmen Roma Bhatia, Sahir Qureshi, Malin Sapkota, and Pranit Panda, better known as the team We Love Pi, worked for four months designing their robot. Besides the robot competition itself, the team had to present their de- sign concept and methods to judges.
