Community Center of Mendocino From the After-School Enrichment Program to Senior Yoga, revitalizing Friendship Park to a Pétanque Terrain, Silks Classes to a Dog Park, the Community Center of Mendocino is a hub of activities generated by an enthusiastic and committed community. Residential | Commercial | Land | Businesses Page 2 Real Estate Magazine November 30, 2012 Community Center of Mendocino The Happening Place in Town! by community center of mendocino staff he elegant white school house at the entrance to the village of Mendocino was the town grammar school for forty years; then a middle school; next a recreation center; and now, with the support of the coastal community, it’s become the Community Center of Mendocino, a hub of community activity. Community Center of Mendocino is also a 501c3 non-profit, which holds the lease on this school district property. A grassroots movement by local parents, neighbors, and community activists, Community Center of Mendocino has assumed responsibility for the After-School Enrichment Program formerly sponsored by the Mendocino Coast Recreation and Parks District, whose financial difficulties interfered with the agency’s ability to manage and develop Mendocino’s programs. Community Center of Mendocino is dedicated to a sustainable, vibrant, and inclusive community center that can succeed without tax support by strengthening community input and participation. The After-School Enrichment Program, which is now a state-licensed child care program for school-age children, is essential to working parents who depend on the community center for after-school care. The after-school program continues to be a priority for Community Center of Mendocino, but over time the organizers hope that the center’s programs will grow to serve a broader cross section of the Mendocino population, including seniors, toddlers, teens, and their parents. “How do we use these facilities to benefit our community, and help support rather than compete with other non-profits that are struggling to make ends meet in this town? This is a recurrent theme in our weekly meetings,” says CCM Board Member Wanda Traber. “The board needs your ideas and your talents. How can the community center serve your family, and also, what would you like to offer to your community?” Adjacent to the community center, and central to Community Center of Mendocino’s vision of revitalization is Friendship Park, the community ball field. “Friendship Park is an amazing representation of what this community can do,” says CCM Board Member Paul Katzeff. Built in the 1990s with a hundred thousand dollars in cash contributions, two hundred volunteers, and a quarter million dollars in in-kind donations, “The park is the ‘hello’ we give ourselves and our visitors. It’s a strong visual that says we are a living and viable community.” Many folks have voiced their dismay at watching the “best little ballpark west of Hoboken” deteriorate, and have been frustrated by the lack of an organized way to pitch in and restore it. These people: contractors, electricians, and landscape professionals, will form the core of Community Center of Mendocino’s “Friendship Park Dream Team” to solve the critical water issues and return the facility to its original splendor.

If only 5 percent of the population of the district participated, at five dollars per week for league play over an average season of twenty weeks, the fees would bring in over twenty-five thousand dollars annually. Center of Mendocino will host the return of Mendocino Stone Soup, a celebration of community sponsored by FLOCKworks and the Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund. “It isn’t the place, it’s how we come together that matters,” says Stone Soup visionary and organizer Janet Self. “Stone Soup is fun because it’s so genuine, so sweet, it will give people a vivid sense of what’s going on here.” Community Center of Mendocino is also putting together a Friendship Park Alumni Association to help support the renovations. “Alumni endow the field with history, stories, and financial support,” says Paul Katzeff, “building a bridge for inspiration between the past and the present.” “I had such a great time in Little League when I played there,” says CCM Board Member Niki Traber. “I feel honored that I get to participate in regenerating that good energy for my kid and her community.” The facilities inherited by Community Center of Mendocino are more extensive than many people realize. In addition to Friendship Park and the community center’s six spacious rooms, there’s a dojo with wall-to-wall mats, a dog park facilitated by MCDOG [Mendocino Coast Dog Owners Group], a community garden, pétanque terrain, picnic area, classroom garden, fitness par course, and playground. The After-School Enrichment Program fills the rooms between 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays, but evenings and weekends there are adult classes, support groups, spiritual programs, dancing, and space available for a variety of public and private events. “There’s so much opportunity here, and so much more that we need to do to assure that these facilities and programs are sustainable,” says CCM Board President Elaine Hillesland. “People keep stepping forward, washing windows, writing grants, graphics, bookkeeping, it’s an amazing outpouring of support, and a demonstration of how community-building feeds us both individually and collectively.” What’s happening, and how can I get involved? A fun way to get acquainted and check out the scene is at the monthly potluck where community members sit down together for conversation, good eats, and an opportunity to share information and ideas for the future of the center. At 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on the second Sunday of each month, all ages are welcome. There are also a half dozen committees meeting independently and in coordination with the Community Center of Mendocino board, and these are open to new ideas and willing hands. They include fund-raising, event planning, programs and facility rentals, communications, and buildings and grounds. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for Saturday, February 2, 2013 when Community Here is the Story of Stone Soup: Long ago in troubled times, people warily hid what-ever they had. A wanderer coming to a village was told “There’s nothing here for you . . . move on.” “Oh, I have everything I need,” she said. “In fact, I will make Stone Soup to share with all of you.” She set up a pot of water over a fire and with great ceremony, dropped in an ordinarylooking stone. By now, villagers had come out or watched from their windows. As the wanderer sniffed the “broth” and licked her lips, hunger began to overcome their skepticism. “Ahh,” the woman said to herself, “I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, a bit of salt (garlic, potato, onion, etc) would make it even better.” And over the day, villagers “found” little bits to add to the pot . . . and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for all. And as everyone gathered to enjoy the soup, the villagers exclaimed to each other “And to think, it was only made from a stone.” Each giving what they can, a greater good is realized. Mendocino Stone Soup celebrates a new era for the Community Center of Mendocino. Our Center has after school activities, community gardens and dog park, sports fields, playground, adult classes, martial arts, performance, rehearsal and meeting space, film nights, and much more. In these uncertain times, we need everyone working together to sustain this vital center of community! Strong local leadership, partnership of our school district, and active involvement of community members means together our Center will be a thriving place for all, now and in the future! Join us: Saturday, February 2, 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. A special bowl, a simple feast with music and fun shared with friends and neighbors. Each giving what you can . . . All funds help create a sustainable future for our Center! Join members of the CCM Board and other community activists on the second Sunday of the month, 4:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m. Eat food, share ideas, and nourish community.

(and wish list) Community Center of Mendocino (CCM) and the Mendocino School District have signed a three-year lease for the old grammar school, Friendship Park, and the adjacent property. We are on our way! A small group of people have taken on this project at the urging of many. Now the community center is ours, and it’s up to all of us to bring dreams to fruition. CCM needs your ideas, your skills and energy, and your financial contributions to make this happen. We are especially in need of funds at this crucial moment. Even small donations of money or the equipment and supplies that we would otherwise have to purchase, will help keep the doors open and the programs under way. Larger contributions, and pledges over time will help grow the Center’s programs. Help now by pledging your financial support. We need to come together as a proud and resourceful community to ensure that our children continue to have the enrichment programs they deserve, to restore Friendship Park to its former glory, to build programs for our toddlers, teens, adults and seniors, and to ensure that the dojo, community garden, pétanque court, dog park, and picnic area will thrive and serve the needs of our citizens. The Community Center is a fabulous resource—what can we make of it? A gathering on the steps of the old grammar school with board members and community activists.

Other plans currently under discussion include a monthly film night and discussion group, bingo, a senior exercise program, and an Acoustic Kitchen. Grant applications are in-the-works for scholarship funding, and for phthalate-free tumbling mats for toddler classes, and equipment needed to outfit the dance studio for adult exercise programs. Please mail your financial contributions to Box 551, Mendocino, CA 95460, drop off at the Village Toy Store in Mendocino, or come by the Community Center at School and and Pine Streets in Mendocino.

Senior Yoga meets on Friday morning at the Community Center. Photo by Lisa Weg Community Center of Mendocino Looking to the Future by Niki Traber The possibilities are seemingly endless. The spark is the individual with a mission, and the fuel is collaboration. We hope especially to integrate programs that engage a mix of generations. For example: Shakespeare in the Park. We could build a stage on the Friendship Park ball field and create a festival of performances. Adults, seniors, teens, and preteens could work together, not only performing, but in set design and construction, costuming, marketing, and project management. With all the theatre expertise flowing through this community, the mentors are surely here. We hope one day for a commercial kitchen to support home economics programs at the high school, to make facilities available to local caterers and bakers, and to provide the community with a venue for culinary activities. We’d like to bring back the video/audio lab that once served at the center. A place for our many musicians and budding filmmakers to learn, share, practice, and record. Middle and high school students could have a hands-on opportunity at recording arts, maybe even produce their own label, with the assistance of local professionals. Again, the mentoring possibilities are plentiful in this department! Who remembers the outside basketball court? Just about non-existent today, it was once enjoyed by teenagers and adults, and is sorely missed. We would like to see the court in use again, perhaps with a roof or a shell to make it accessible year round. Kids and adults could spend a rainy day playing basketball, and create more interaction between the town folk. What about peer counseling, academic tutoring, and a mentoring program where local tradespeople, artists, athletes, and business people have an opportunity to introduce the younger crowd to their field of interest and share their expertise one-on-one? Consider an annual cultural festival with dancing, food vendors, music, and handmade items for sale. We need more opportunities for our small bubble here on the coast, to celebrate the stories, traditions, and diversity of the world. These are a few of the many ideas floating around for the next chapter at the Community Center of Mendocino.
