Is the 2008 Carlsbad Calendar and Community Guide. Front and back covers designed by COAL's own Mary Anne Nilsson. Mary Anne, a valuable and active member of the Carlsbad Oceanside Art League is also Co-Director of COAL's Youth Programs for Children's Shows.


Two of Mary Anne's favorite images come together in an explosion of color on the front cover, the Egret and 4th of July.


Back cover is a satellite image of Carlsbad, the landscape patterns of tree, land and water stylized with Mary Anne's earthy color design.
