Mother-son duo reflect on Ancestral Home' in art installation
"Ancestral Home, a quilted work by mother-son duo Mik and May Gaspay, is on display at the Redwood City Art Kiosk, 2208 Broadway St., through Jan. 4, 2026. The installation centers on their family's home in Enrile, The Philippines, which was destroyed by a typhoon. Through cutting, stitching and layering, the Gaspays reconstruct the house as both a personal and collective monument that honors family histories while reflecting on broader experiences of home and displacement."
"Driven to give The Menlo Park Firefighters Association and St. Anthony's Padua Dining Room are looking to bring their annual toy drive up to pre-pandemic levels this year. Prior to the pandemic, nearly 1,200 children in San Mateo County were reached annually. Since 2020, that number has dropped to around 800, and the number of children in need has doubled. Organizers are looking to Pettinelli Financial Partners, a major supporting partner, to help restore full reach to families in need across the county."
