You did an awesome job of mentoring them.” This year, Kaur is working on a plan to host a virtual hackathon on March 27. Fifteen eager students have already signed up for the event, and registration is still open. Kaur has also expanded her organization nationally and now has six chapters in the Bay Area and Texas, with two more on the way. She is working on growing the organization across boundaries. “I am currently discussing how to bring in students to both teach and learn from Azerbaijan. I am talking with some principals in schools there. I want all interested kids to learn this skill,” she she continues to work with eager young students who said.

After watching her younger sister constantly getting distracted with online learning, Kaur talked to her sister’s afterschool program director at Learning Bee, Grace Wong. During her discussion with Wong, she understood this was a common problem for many young kids. Kaur decided to turn this pandemic crisis into an opportunity to teach young kids app development virtually. She volunteered her time twice a week to teach 3rd through 6th grade students online. She has since taught six online sessions with approximately ten kids per session. Though it was challenging, Kaur worked diligently to redesign her curriculum for online teaching.

Art is often perceived as a complex process requiring a lengthy material list. This may intimidate the beginning artist – however, accomplished multi-medium artist Helene Roylance reminds us that it all starts with a pencil. Helene Roylance’s artistic journey is inspiring. Fremont-based Roylance is the youngest of five siblings and started as a self-taught artist. Excited about being able to render realistic art, she practiced on her own in middle and high school and received a formal art education in college, earning a degree in Social Science as well as Studio Art. Realism and sketching form the central point of her art, and no matter what medium she is working in (ceramics, watercolor or sketching) Roylance creates several sketches to fine tune the composition and ensure that her perspective is correct. In 2013 Roylance started creating whimsical pet portraiture (often given as gifts), color ceramics, and a year later watercolors. Soon after her website, www.lumpydoodles.com took shape. “I do not believe that one is born with the ability to draw or not draw,” says Roylance. “With practice, anyone can do it!” She encourages artists and budding artists to keep at it. “Practice makes progress, and as you learn something from the process, it gets better and better.” Roylance has sound advice for emerging artists. “Based on the experience of taking classes and workshops, I find that it is as important to learn and make progress in our own development as it is to take classes. If you only take workshops, but are unable to practice on your own, you are not making the tools that you learned in the workshop your own.” She encourages artists to practice on their own and give each medium an earnest try to assess if they like it or not, and to sign up with a local arts organization and go to arts fairs and research the steps required for participation. “It is important for an artist to be versatile and to know how to render using color, light, texture and shadow.” Roylance is an expert at communicating the above methods and making them visible by using just a pencil. “It is only with developing the artist’s eye that we are able to better capture what we see on paper,” she says. Roylance’s deepest affinity is for sketching. “Sketching is fundamental to all art work,” she says, and adds that she uses drawing and a sketchbook to help plan all her artistic projects. This process helps bring her finished products to life.

Roylance is a member of the Fremont Art Association, the Livermore Art Association and the Pleasanton Art League. She has exhibited her work in various art fairs and received regard and acknowledgement. Helene Roylance and the Olive Hyde Art Guild will host a free online sketching workshop on Thursday, March 24 at 10 a.m. (prior registration required). Roylance encourages artists and interested community members to participate in this free virtual program and try out a new art form! In this workshop, Helene will walk though some basic sketching materials and how to use them, and then show some basic techniques, tricks and methods for drawing the world around us. It promises to be a truly memorable artistic experience!

Taking a direct approach to helping communities deal with the pandemic, the foundation recently awarded grants of $250,000 each to St. Rose and Washington hospitals to help with their COVID-19 vaccination efforts. Fremont Bank Foundation’s combined $500,000 donation is part of the more than $2 million it distributed across the Bay Area in the past year to address basic needs, educational stability, and food shortages. With glimmers of hope shining through the dark clouds of the COVID-19 pandemic, we at TCV are thankful for Fremont Bank Foundation’s ongoing Fremont Bank Foundation takes a strong support of the community both in personal approach to funding local prosperity and adversity.

The Foundation has donated to many organizations over the years to help satisfy desperate needs in the community, including those that have presented themselves during the COVID-19 crisis. Fremont Bank Foundation responded by making one of their most significant recent grants to help local communities and healthcare organizations in the Bay Area deal with the pandemic. In early March 2020, as the community started to feel the impacts of the pandemic and related shutdowns, the foundation reached out to local organizations to understand their needs and where and how the foundation could help. “We thought we ought to give our community the resources for rainy days, and it’s not raining, it’s pouring,” is how Hughes described the thinking at the foundation.
