A Note from Miss Marilyn - Founding Executive Director
November 2021
Dear STAR Family & Friends,
It has been a challenging time for our world, our community, our lives; and our future has been profoundly changed in so many ways due to the COVID Pandemic. STAR has adapted, changed and survived with the support of our STAR Kids and Families, STAR Boards, and STAR Staff. I am full of hope with the news of the approval of vaccinations for children ages 5 to 11 that it is a sign that STAR kids, families, and staff will be able to gather, create, share and have fun in front of live audiences once again. Last Winter STAR ended the year with an online Showcase, guided by the theme "The Spirit of Giving". This winter we are returning to performing a Brunch Fundraising Live Showcase featuring Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Match Girl" at the Gilroy Old City Hall on Dec. 11, 2021. The delicious Brunch and STAR Showcase will be presented on the second floor of Gilroy Old City Hall Restaurant. The show is directed by Ms. Dana Severin, assisted by Ms. Lexi Salcido. Technical support Mr. Sam Handelman and Mr. Dante Carballo.
Covid Protocols will be in place and posted using the most recent updated guidelines to keep all Star Kids and Staff Safe in Body, Mind, and Spirit!
Take Care, Stay safe, Most sincerely,
Marilyn Abad-Cardinalli
