    INTRODUCTION BY LEAH VASQUEZ:
    Clay, It's More Than Mud... It's combining the "Best of All Worlds." It's understood and appreciated that cultures around the world have their own unique characteristics; there are universal needs for beauty, sustainability, efficiency, and safety, as well as important design components, including identity and local criteria and requirements. For this month's program we spotlight two Laguna Beach luminaries who have worked together with Catalina Tile, and individually on numerous other local projects. All of which enhance "A Sense of Place, Here and Elsewhere." Leah Vasquez
