SUMMARY:Central CA Animal Disaster Team Volunteer Recruitment and Team Training
DESCRIPTION:The Central California Animal Disaster Team (CCADT) is hosting  a “Volunteer Orientation and Team Training” event on Saturday\, May 2\, 2026. The event will be held  at the Kerr McGee Community Center\, 100 W California Avenue\, Ridgecrest\, CA\, from 8:30 a.m.  to 4:00 p.m. There is no cost to attend the training. \nVolunteers are always needed to assist with animal evacuation and emergency sheltering\, and this is  the first time that CCADT has offered training in the Ridgecrest area. Anyone interested in becoming  a CCADT volunteer and/or attending the May 2nd training may register by April 28th by visiting the  CCADT website: https://ccadt.org. \nWildfires\, flooding\, and severe weather have become more prevalent throughout California. In addition  to numerous wildfire evacuations\, CCADT volunteers from Kern County have responded to Lake  Isabella\, Porterville\, Delano\, and McFarland to operate small animal shelters in response to life  threatening flooding. Many animals were evacuated and provided with a safe haven until evacuation  orders were lifted and pet owners were able to return home. \n“During the last 10 years\, CCADT has responded to 42 wildfires and has helped save  thousands of animals\, primarily during wildfires season. \n– Naomi E\, Tobias\, Founder & CEO \nFounded in 2011\, the Central CA Animal Disaster Team is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in  Fresno that serves seven counties.

SUMMARY:How to Draw with Oil Pastels  A drawing workshop with Marijke IJff
DESCRIPTION:How to Draw with Oil Pastels \nA drawing workshop with Marijke IJff \nWednesday May 6th – 5:30pm – 7:30pm \nIf you have ever wanted to create your own impressionist artwork but have been too intimidated to pick up a paint brush\, oil pastels are a great place to start! Oil pastels have all of the convenience of a crayon with the benefits of oils! This art medium offers a tactile experience with a lot of smudging and sculpting of the colors along the way. \nIn this class\, we will cover a few oil pastel techniques and start with a small warm up. Then\, everyone will have the opportunity to create your own oil pastel work of art! Everyone is encouraged to bring their own reference image(s)\, but there will be references available. \nAccompany us in experimenting with oil pastels and leave with your very own impressionist piece and some drawing techniques to add to your skill set. \nThis workshop is for ages 9+. \nFor more information and to register online visit our website
