May 26, 2010 NO JAIL Awards from HPAC
HPAC's May meeting savored our victory in the 2008-2010 NOJAIL effort (Neighbors Opposing Jail at Inappropriate Location), since the city recently announced no new jail (see below). Our hard-working activists received Certificates of Appreciation with much fanfare and cheering.

Artist David Boyer of Nevada, who is commissioned to create a work for Westcrest Park, introduced his moving sculpture with a slideshow and answered questions.
