Art in Equality…WOW. THANK YOU to the nearly ONE THOUSAND (1,000) members of the community that came to the Museum last night making this particular 1st Thursday the largest in many years. I especially want to thank our honorary chair Orange County Property Appraiser, Rick Singh CFA. It was Mr. Rick Singh that originally asked me about putting a small event together to help promote his Domestic Partner Property Rights program. Small? LOL Seriously, I continue to be impressed with how Mr. Singh has taken what basically is an administrative role and turned it into an opportunity address multiple social issues…including his recent very public statement and support of Marriage Equality.
