Art show at Atherton Town Hall
Local artist Flo de Bretagne is hosting a solo show in Atherton Town Hall.
She’s is the first artist to display her work, in partnership with the Atherton Arts Foundation, in the civic center.
“The moment you walk into the Town Center you will be drawn to her vibrant and energetic art, full of color and geometric shapes as well as colorful animals and nature,” according to the Athertonian. “Her artistic journey is one of light and hope. Flo chooses subjects that have both exquisite beauty and deep meaning: Fruitful gardens, resilient animals and imaginary landscapes.
De Bretagne’s murals have been on display at local schools and in downtown Menlo Park.
De Bretagne was given the honor of being part of the first group show of local artists at the de Young Museum in 2020 in honor of its 125th anniversary.
Check out the work at Town Hall, 80 Fair Oaks Lane.

Menlo Athletics donates over 550 toys to Good Tidings Foundation
Continuing an annual tradition, Menlo College Athletics student-athletes, coaches, and staff partnered with the Good Tidings Foundation to support its Winter Wonderland program, an initiative focused on providing gifts to children in underserved communities all across the Bay Area. In 2023, the Oaks donated 550 toys.
Winter Wonderland program organizers collects toys through local drives to benefit non-profit partners, schools, and communities in need.
“Life in athletics is demanding,” said Athletic Director Keith Spataro. “Training, recruiting, traveling, academics, and competition require undivided attention. Yet, our athletes, coaches, and staff prioritize giving back to the community, especially during this season of giving. We are proud to bring smiles to local children and spread holiday cheer.”
Last year, Menlo donated about 500 toys to the program. Last holiday season, the program served over 1,955 children and distributed 5,800 toys, bringing joy to countless families.
