Oakland and San Francisco Art of Activism Award Winners Appearing with Rosario Dawson on June 9, 7-9 p.m., Sundance Kabuki Cinemas, 1881 Post St. Limited tickets available?get yours here. Oakland?s James Berk and San Francisco?s Martha Ryan will receive the Redford Center?s Art of Activism Award on June 9 as part of an evening program that will feature a conversation with actress and activist Rosario Dawson. Rosario will discuss the motivations and strategies behind her efforts to fight for voter engagement and education, to support disaster relief and refugees, and to use her voice to battle poverty, violence, and AIDS. Rosario launched her career with the 1995 movie Kids, and has since appeared in major productions, such as Men in Black II, 25th Hour, and Sin City, as well as independent films, including Woody Allen's Sidewalks of New York. She recently starred with Will Smith in Seven Pounds. Our Art of Activism Award Winners, At age 19, James Berk is the youngest of seven worker-owners of West Oakland?s Mandela Food Co-op and heads up their Healthy Neighborhood Store Alliance, a program focused on getting fresh produce into corner stores in low-income neighborhoods. The program has already made a significant impact: Several convenience stores that previously carried only packaged goods now consistently carry produce. James?s vision for the program is that it become entirely youth-run, generating a livable income for each of its workers, while at the same time serving as an educational tool to others and a model for promoting greater access to fresh, healthy food for all Americans. Martha Ryan (right) is a nurse practitioner with a long history of administering prenatal care to homeless women. Inspired by her work in the Peace Corps and on medical trips in Africa, she founded San Francisco?s Homeless Prenatal Program in 1989 while volunteering at the Hamilton Family Shelter. Today, the organization serves over 3,000 families a year, provides many other support services, and employs a staff comprised of dozens of former clients. Martha Ryan?s goal is to end childhood poverty, and to lift homeless women and families out of welfare, mental illness, and life on the streets by investing in the community.

JAZZ ADVISORY AUDITIONS. BHS Jazz and Choral Director Scott Dailey writes: The Berkeley High School jazz program will hold advisory auditions for 8th-graders on Thursday, June 10, at 5 p.m. in the band room (A201), upstairs in the music building at BHS. The music building is directly across the courtyard from the main administration building at 1980 Allston Way. The purpose of the advisory auditions will be to give 8th-graders an idea of whether they should enroll in Jazz Lab Band 1 (the lower band) or Jazz Lab Band 2 (the middle band). The actual auditions for all the jazz bands, including the Jazz Ensemble (top band), will be held in early September after school begins. Students will have an opportunity to adjust their schedules as needed, once they know which band they will be playing in. The exceptional freshman may be assigned to the Jazz Ensemble; in most cases, however, freshmen play in either Jazz Lab 1 or Jazz Lab 2. The advisory audition will consist of the following: * Playing scales from the attached scale sheet (contact Mr. Dailey to obtain a copy) * Playing blues in concert F * Sight-reading a simple piece * Optional: Playing a prepared jazz piece The advisory assignment will be based on: * Tone quality * Jazz feel * Improvisational ability while playing blues, including phrasing and melodic sense * Sight-reading ability If you have questions, please feel free to email me at sdailey at berkeley.k12.ca.us . I look forward to hearing your students play on June 10. Sincerely yours, Scott Dailey BHS Jazz and Choral Director Dine Out for the Gulf Coast ~ June 10-12 The following restaurants will be donating a portion of their proceeds to the communities affected by the Gulf Coast oil spill: Delfina, Hog Island Oyster Bar, Bottega, Maverick, Incanto, Front Porch, RN74, The Slanted Door, Heaven's Dog, Bi-Rite Market, Ozumo, Nombe, Boulette?s Larder, Wexler?s, Contigo and Bix, Chez Panisse, Tra Vigne, Bottega, and The Pasta Shop.

Please make plans to drop in for some coffee and sweets so we may thank you and you may say goodbye to Jim. Janet Huseby Volunteer Coordinator BHS Salaams everyone, In Islam Friday is a day of prayer and learning. Men are obligated to gather and pray. Although traditionally women are not obligated as men are to gather to pray, all women are welcome. Muslims and Jews often in their past associations in Spain and other places in the Middle East shared common ground culturally and religiously. In a desire to develop cross communication and fellowship, we ask our Jewish brothers to come and gather with us. Christians are welcome too. Anyone who desires to share may come. As Mawlana Rumi said, "Come come whomever you are..." A room or place that is used only for prayer is called a "Masallah." A Mosque is a building dedicated to the community as a gathering place for all religious needs. Prayer room and time: Room H110 between 12:30-1:30pm every Friday. Please come and share our Masallah for meditation, and or prayer. Peace, Rabi'a Mirhadian, RN BSN, Parent Adviser, Berkeley High School Muslim Student Assoc., 510-672-2018 ***BHS Jazz Final Concert: Friday, June 11*** The BHS Jazz Lab Bands, Ensemble and Combos will perform at the final concert of the semester on Friday, June 11, 2010 at the BHS (Florence Schwimley) Little Theatre beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 (General Admission); BHS students and staff are free; and other student tickets are $3.

The Art Apprentices will be assisting our Art instructors by helping young campers (ages 6-10) making art, preparing materials for art projects, clean up, recess supervision and chaperoning field trips to other museums and programs.
