Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to read this article about Ronald Chase, artist and founder of the San Francisco Art & Film For Teenagers who passed away in December. Despite all the negative news about the current state of arts in San Francisco, it’s efforts like Ronald’s and many others that give me hope for the future. Please take a few minutes to read and see the legacy he left for many in the city and our youth.
