2017-18 GRANTS FINAL REPORT
Dear Grantees:
2018 AUG 17 Ptd 4: 27
Your organization received a grant from the City of San Bernardino Fine Arts Commission to be used between July 1,
2017 and June 30, 2018. Although the Fine Arts Commission has been dissolved, it was very important to the former
Commissioners to work to ensure the continued funding of Arts Organizations within our community. One of their final
requests as a Commission was that the City Clerk's Office follow through with the evaluation process and forward the
results to the new Fine Arts and Historical Preservation Commission, in the hopes that the new commission would see
the effectiveness of awarding grants to arts organizations and continue to lobby for and give funding to such Arts
Organizations in San Bernardino.
Please fill in the form below. Return by Monday, July 30, 2018 to:
City of San Bernardino
Office of the City Clerk — Attention: Diane Grant
290 N. "D" St., San Bernardino, CA 92401
Please Note: Many of the former Fine Arts Commissioners expressed an interest in serving on the new
commission and if appointed will be looking for these evaluations to help in creating any processes the new
commission uses to fund grants for organizations if they receive funding through the general budget to do so.
The future availability of funding and the processes used to choose the organizations to be funded may depend
on the ability of the new commission to access the information you provide.

Angels at the Speedway: blind dance
instructor to bring hi.-914letfolklorico
Blind dance instructor
Gary Ferrer and his bal-
let folklorico group, St.
John's Angels, will per-
form March
17-18 at Viva
La Fiesta, a
popular His-
panic fes-
tival area
during the
Michel weekend's
Nolan NASCAR
Columnist events at
Auto Club
Speedway in Fontana.
Folklorico dancers and
fast racing cars don't typi-
cally mix for a single event,
but this one is special.
Born and raised in Mex-
ico, Gary is a successful
photographer and dance
meningitis in January 2016.
For nearly two years,
the San Bernardino resi-
dent has been dedicated to
teaching this cultural art
form to local children at no
cost — his volunteer com-
mitment to helping the
community in spite of his
unseeing eyes
Wearing coibrful cos-
tumes that reflect the tra-
ditional culture of Mex-
ico,
exico, the ballet-folklorico
group will perform at 11:30
a.m. on March 17, and at
8:30 a.m. on March 18, in

and younger with a Lefty's

Attendees with a race
ticket will have access to
the zone, which will fea-
ture NASCAR driver ap-
pearances and autograph
sessions, including Mon-
ster_Energy stunt shows,
the group's debut in Fon-
tana.
It took both courage
and hope to get where
they are today.
After spending two
months in the hospital and
overcoming months of de-
pression, Gary decided to
use his strength for oth-
ers by starting the folklor-
ico dance group for low in-
come kids at the St. John's
Community Success Cen-
ter.
"He was close to death
— his prognosis was 12
days to live," said his part-

and shares those steps
with children in spite of
his disability.

meaning in teaching ballet

The folklorico group
performs at venues
throughout Southern Cal-
ifornia, including the Or-
ange County Fair, Plaza
Olvera in Los Angeles and
the Festival of Lights in
Riverside.

end

,,He was close to death
— his prognosis was 12

metal fabricator at Amer-
ican Wire in San Ber-
nardino.
Teaching traditional
Mexican folklorico and
Zumba fitness has helped
Gary overcome his health
condition — and given him
hope.
"Gary wants to feel use-
ful, like he's contributing
— so he uses his energy
to help the community
and shares his passion for.
dancing," Ivan said.
And the community has
noticed.
Not only does he offer
free weekly dance classes
to girls and boys in the
community, but he and
his group participate at
park clean-ups, help in the
preparation of food bank
lunches for the homeless
and are working on special
projects to raise awareness
about pet adoption.
He has been lauded for
his civic pride and the
sense of community he has
instilled in his students.
