Sudbury Resident Designs Coloring Book While in Dominican Republic

A Sudbury resident made her contribution to Sudbury’s 375th anniversary celebration, even from well outside New England.

Robin DeSantis, who grew up in Sudbury and was an active participant in community activities, was a member of the Peace Corps living in the Dominican Republic.

DeSantis designed the 375th Anniversary Coloring Book while in the Dominican Republic, where she developed programs in creative arts, HIV/AIDS prevention, and female entrepreneurship with at-risk children and families.

“She hopes the children of Sudbury have fun coloring the scenes of their beautiful and historic town,” according to a press release about the coloring book.

A member of the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Class of 2006, DeSantis graduated from Boston College in 2010 with a degree in Spanish and Studio Art.

As a child, DeSantis took part in activities such as Colonial Day at Heritage Park and Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony at the Grist Mill.

Residents can purchase a copy of the coloring book for $5 at locations throughout town.
