MLK legacy event
Three Valleys Community Foundation is set to host this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Legacy Breakfast & Awards on Jan. 26 at the Palm Event Center in the Vineyard.
This will be the nonprofit’s first year hosting the annual event, which is celebrating 25 years of recognizing “extraordinary individuals and emerging leaders whose service, advocacy, and leadership are driving meaningful change across the Tri-Valley region”.
The event will also honor seven Tri-Valley residents with the 2026 Legacy Awards. According to 3VCF, the awardees are being recognized for their moral courage, compassion, bold authenticity, and enduring commitment to community-centered leadership. A Dublin teen will also be awarded with the foundation’s first Young Philanthropist Award recipient for their work like addressing food insecurity.
Airport mural
A new mural featuring clean-air transportation was installed last month on a hangar wall at the Livermore Municipal Airport.
Dubbed the “Clean Air Transportation Innovation Mural”, the artwork features green tech such as hydrogen-powered ferries and alternative-fuel planes. The artwork, composed of a central piece (24 feet by 8 feet) and two flanking pieces (8 feet by 8 feet), is visible from the intersection of West Jack London Boulevard and Discovery Drive.
Installed Dec. 1, the mural is meant to bring awareness to clean-air transportation efforts at the Livermore airport and other Livermore-based organizations, leading artist Thomasin Dewhurst said.
The mural is also meant to beautify an “underserved area for public art and ignite possibilities for further unusual public art spaces for future art projects”, Dewhurst said.
Job expo at library
The Livermore Public Library will be hosting its fourth annual Opportunities Expo, an event where people looking for a job can get connected with potential employers, at the Civic Center Library Community Rooms and Gallery next Thursday (Jan. 22).
From 5:30-7:30 p.m., community members who are 16 or older can bring their resumes and network with local employers during this free event. According to the library, the expo offers a “unique platform to establish professional relationships and explore potential employment options in various fields”.
“Representatives from the Tri Valley Career Center will be on hand providing resume assistance,” according to a press release. “Additionally, the first 50 attendees are offered a complimentary, professional headshot, courtesy of Ron Essex Photography.”
