Honoring Dr. Ed Manansala

Dr. Manansala has led the Office of Education with calm, fortitude, and commitment to students, educators, parents, and administrators. He is a collaborator, a passionate advocate, and an innovator, and champions arts and cultural programs in our schools, understanding full well the vital importance of creativity in the lives of young people.

The Carpenter Award reception and award ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 22, 2023, at 6:00 pm in the Galleria at David Girard Vineyards, where we will gather with friends and supporters for a cocktail reception to celebrate Ed and the work of the Office of Education.

In Honor of Ed’s Commitment to Education in El Dorado County

Patron levels include complimentary tickets to the event, where we’ll serve exquisite locally sourced hors d’oeuvres by Table Nectar, and outstanding wines from David Girard Vineyards. In addition, some patron levels include the opportunity to congratulate Ed and celebrate the arts in the tribute pages of our event program.*

Your contribution will help sustain the programs and services of Arts and Culture El Dorado, which reach veterans and young people, artists and arts organizations, students and educators, residents and visitors.
