A box of frosted donuts, a popcorn bucket and some political statements are on display at the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits’ annual luncheon.
San Jose City Councilmember Pam Foley’s office created a pink box of frosted donuts out of pumpkins for the Be Our Guest luncheon held by the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits at Excite Ballpark in San Jose on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024.

Artist Kyra Pagkas painted an homage to Edvard Munch's"The Scream" on a pumpkin for the Leo Shortino Family Foundation's entry for the Be Our Guest luncheon held by the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits at Excite Ballpark in San Jose on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024. A"sun" pumpkin seems to operate an adjacent fan in the creation of San Jose City Councilmember David Cohen for the Be Our Guest luncheon held by the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits at Excite Ballpark in San Jose on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024.
But my favorite had to be from San Jose City Councilmember Pam Foley. Claire Bang, her communications and community relations manager, transformed six small pumpkins into frosted donuts nestled in a pink cardboard box that looked good enough to eat.
