The Spanish Village Foundation

The Spanish Village Foundation http://spanishvillagefoundation.org - A non-profit foundation dedicated to reinforcing all that is good about San Clemente.

The Spanish Village Foundation was founded in December 2008 by Mike Cotter, Raad Ghantous, John Alpay, Candy Haggard and Rose Velasquez, who serve as its directors. Inspired by the positive message of then newly appointed Mayor Donchak, the foursome set out to promote optimistic and affirmative aspects found in San Clemente.

Check out tomorrows issue of the SC Times showcasing this years Spanish Village Foundation's 7th annual Spring Photo Festival contest winner and recipient of the $1,000 Grand Prize!

The winning photo, titled 'City Hall', captures the spirit of this year's contest theme ' A Day in San Clemente, The Spanish Village' very nicely as it uses the iconic Spanish Revival 1929 historic Easley building and its Moorish influenced arches atop of Avenida Del Mar in the historic heart of San Clemente as a perfect background to people doing different things as they enjoy 'a day in San Clemente' and was entered by Jorg Westerheide.

The Easley Building at,101 S. El Camino Real, is not only historically listed on the City of San Clemente's historical inventory list but it is also an official City identified ' Landmark ' as well!

Pick up your copy on the stands tomorrow or check it out on the web at http://issuu.com/sanclementetimes/docs/sct_20150528?e=1653643/13140578
