YMCAs...everywhere and anywhere in Pierce County,” according to the campaign’s
website. Liberty is one of the leading

“I was approached by Ken Miller
about doing something to support The Game Campaign,” Serko
says. “He said they were thinking about
selling high quality wood puzzles. I had never given it any thought before
but thought it would be a great idea. I sent him a number of images and
he picked ‘Opera Alley In Snow.’"
Serko is the writer and producer or
the one-man play My
Brother Kissed Mark Zuckerberg. He has more recently
made a documentary film based on the
play called Footnote. Currently he is
doing an artist residency in a high school English class on memoir. “We
are working on making short memoir films. For me it is an important way to tell
my brother's story and the story of AIDS during the ‘plague era’ to young
people,” he says.
