During my career as a professional ceramist (potter), I was commissioned by Phoenix Magazine to throw a series of 18" wide porcelain plates. Each plate was decorated by a famous local artist and auctioned off by Phoenix Magazine. Here are a few plates from the collection.

Yucca District E-News for...
August 8, 2019

Well, I'm back. My vacation was great but now it's time to get back to work. Now is the time to consider getting involved in the life of your community. Below you will find information about enrolling in Glendale University. The deadline to apply is August 16th. It's a great way to learn more about Glendale and how it operates. Not only that, it's fun and you get to form new friendships. If you are interested please go to 
 
Another way to participate in your community is to consider joining a City of Glendale Board or Commission. Right now there is an opening for a Yucca District resident on the Community Development Advisory Board. This board makes recommendations to City Council for allocations of federal funding the City receives every year for low to moderate income neighborhoods and programs that serve this demographic. There is also an opening for At-Large representatives from any district within the City to the Industrial Development Authority. You must have a financial background.
 
The first City Council Workshop and night Voting Meeting occur on Tuesday, August 13th. We have been advised that staff is prepared to Facebook both meetings live. Don't be surprised if there are glitches along the way but they will be corrected over time. It is the City's desire to use social media to the fullest extent possible and using Facebook in real time is just a step toward reaching that goal.
 
It's still very hot so be sure to protect yourselves, your children and your pets when outside.
  
Sincerely, 
Joyce
