Cal Poly Art Gallery to Exhibit Stössinger’s ‘Type Design’
2017-09-22 16:30 - 2017-10-20 18:00
The exhibit will open with a talk by Stössinger, a Swiss typeface designer, at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, in Room 123 of the Bioresource and Agricultural Engineering Building (No. 8) on campus. A reception will follow at 5:30 p.m. in the gallery, located on the ground floor of the Dexter Building (No. 34).
The exhibition traces Stössinger’s journey into typeface design, from her first published font family through her more recent work including typeface design, sketches and lettering. Her documented processes, explorations and final results will be on display. They tell a story of discovering the formal language of letterforms and the myriad forms they can take.
“Good typography is essential to good graphic design, and we can all benefit from what Nina can teach us,” said Bruno Ribiero, professor of graphic design. “The appreciation for the details in typeface design improves anyone’s skills, not only in design, but in any craft one chooses.”
The University Art Gallery is free and open to the public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Being In The Time Of Dying: Preparing Yourself and Another Through Immanency and Death
2017-10-06 09:00 - 15:00
Hospice SLO County invites you to attend a course on Being In The Time Of Dying: Preparing Yourself and Another Through Immanency and Death. This course will take place on Friday, October 6, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Doors open for attendee check-in at 8:30 a.m.)

Learning objectives:
– Use five element theory of Asian medicine and philosophy
– Identify physical and emotional markers of the dying process, including language
– Identify non-medical support during immanency
– Dying and death preparatory exercises and meditations
$45 (Without CEUs) $55 (Includes CEUs)
Cost includes a copy of Rebirth Into Pure Land by Robert Sachs

Surfing for Hope
2017-10-06 10:00 - 2017-10-07 21:00
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA: The Sixth Annual Surfing for Hope Longboard Contest Weekend will take place on October 6-7, 2017 in Pismo and Avila Beach. This event is designed to help inspire people challenged by cancer through the positive energy of surfing.
“Through this annual event, our organizers and participants strive to show how the ocean and the sport of surfing are therapeutic and healing,” said Bob Voglin, a well-known local surfer and cancer survivor. “It also gives the surfing community an opportunity to give back to people in need by sharing what we love.”
All proceeds from Surfing for Hope 2017, with French Hospital serving as the presenting sponsor, will benefit the Surfing for Hope Foundation in San Luis Obispo. In addition to Voglin, the Surfing for Hope Foundation Board includes Karen Allen, Tom Spillane, and Brian Metcalf. Since 2012, the foundation has raised more than $200,000 to support and assist cancer patients and their families; 2016 beneficiaries included the Pure Stoke Youth Program and several local cancer resources for those currently battling cancer.
Weekend Events:
Friday, October 6, 4 p.m. – Memorial Paddle Out, Avila Beach
Friday, October 6, 5:30-10 p.m. – Benefit Reception Dinner, Avila Beach
Saturday, October 7, starting at 7 a.m. – Longboard Surf Contest, Pismo Beach Pier
Saturday, October 7, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. – Cancer Resource Health Fair, Pismo Beach Pier
The Opening Ceremonies in Avila Beach include a Memorial Paddle Out to honor friends and loved ones who have lost their battle with cancer; meet at Avila Lighthouse Suites. The annual Benefit Reception Dinner will follow at Avila Valley Barn, featuring foods and wines of the Central Coast.
Two local residents, Ryan Teixeira and Mike Spangler, have been named the 2017 Paddle Out honorees. Teixeira, an Arroyo Grande High School graduate and baseball standout who was named the 2015 Tribune baseball player of the year, has been described as a “fearless warrior”; he succumbed to a rare form of leukemia. Spangler, a local business owner, loved being in his shop, SLO Works, or spending time with friends on the golf course or surfing; he was best known for his “generous spirit, beautiful smile, kind heart, and positive attitude.”
The Annual Longboard Surf Contest, at the Pismo Beach Pier, is open to ages 10 and up and includes a variety of divisions. The community is encouraged to stop by the Cancer Resource Health Fair on Saturday to learn more about featured businesses and local groups providing support, education, and help to individuals and their families currently going through the cancer experience.
“This annual event, filled with inspiring and healing moments, has become a favorite and much-anticipated weekend for locals and visitors alike,” said Voglin. “It is a great opportunity for both the surfing community and the medical world to join together and support those challenged with cancer. We are so stoked about celebrating our sixth consecutive year of the Surfing for Hope Longboard Contest Weekend and look forward to helping those battling cancer in our local community.”

TEMPLETON, CA: Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 7 and come on out to Wild Horse Winery in Templeton for the Going Pink for Pinot and Paella event benefiting the Cancer Support Community. The fundraising event, held in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Ticket-holders will enjoy wine, food, live music, and amazing views of the vineyards and grounds surrounding the winery.
“Not only does this event help the Cancer Support Community,” says Wild Horse Winery Visitor Center Manager Leslie Churchill, “it is a chance to try some of the best Pinot Noirs made on the Central Coast, sample amazing paella, and listen to the sounds of Proxima Parada. Everyone will receive a logo wine glass to take home, plus the positive feeling of helping those in our local community affected by cancer.”
Wild Horse Winery is known for making exceptional Pinot Noir from some of the best South County Vineyards on the Central Coast. The flight at the fundraising event will include Pinot Noir from famed vineyards such as Bien Nacido, Santa Maria Hills, Righetti, Rancho Sisquoc, and more. In addition, Chef Nick Nolan will be cooking up his famous paella to pair with the wines.
Although this is the first year for the staff at Wild Horse Winery to host Going Pink for Pinot and Paella, they have worked with the CSC in past years, donating $2 from every bottle of Rose sold in the tasting room each October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“Cancer, specifically breast cancer, is something that affects nearly everyone, whether it is a personal struggle or that of a loved one,” says Churchill. “Wild Horse Winery wants to be able to help those in our community who need the support the CSC can provide. We hope everyone will come out to our Going Pink for Pinot and Paella event on Oct. 7 to show their support as well.”
Tickets for Going Pink for Pinot and Paella are $45 for general admission and $35 for wine club members. To purchase tickets, call (805) 788-6315 or see www.WildHorseWinery.com.
