Deb’s Dialog Editor’s Notes Mother’s Day Weekend - May 7 & 8 Memorial Day Celebration - Monday May 30th. May 2016 MARKETPLACEcontracosta.com 7 It’s already May and it’s time for Mother’s Day. Time to celebrate all the mothers out there. Even if you aren’t a mom, you likely have a mom or someone you consider to be close to you. It takes a village to raise a child and it’s time to celebrate and let those who have cared for you know just how special they are. Speaking of Mother’s Deborah ludlow Stevens Day, look at the wonderful photos we received as entries into the annual Mother’s Day Photo Contest. It’s always been so hard to pick just one as first place. Congratulations to Janet McMurray of El Cerrito who is dressed in luau style with her two grandchildren. Happy Mother’s Day to all and have a great month of May! Until next month, Deborah It’s that time of year when the kids start counting down the days until summer. I know my teens are!

We hope you take time to Shop Local, Shop Pinole in the special chamber Julia Smith section in this issue before going online or shopping at the big box stores.

Without them, it would just become a jungle of vacant buildings and commercial goods without much variety to choose from. Buying local helps our cities and the local business owners, thus in turn, make the communities we live in better. Next month, we will be featuring El Cerrito and the local community there.
