The furnishing of the new Center, and the installation of 10 new computers, was made possible thanks to generous contributions by the Portola Valley Rotary Club (Joan Fuesch), the Antigua Rotary Club (Alma Olson and Asunción Vitoria), the International Rotary Club, and by Tom Sullivan. Special thanks to Joan Fuetsch and Alma Olson for shepherding the Computer Center project through its initial stages, and also for starting the Matching Grant to fund the project.

Family Night at Open Windows

On January 22nd, Open Windows kicked-off the year with the first annual “Parent’s Night” at the library. We were absolutely thrilled to host over 70 parents in the library! Parent support is an integral part in the success of a child’s education, and we are encouraged to find that the Dueñas community supports their children’s education and supports the library. The parents thanked Open Windows for the opportunities the Foundation gives their children. It was a very positive night for all!
