To all our wonderful members - I hope Spring finds you well and in a creative frame of mind. I'd like to remind all of you to please support our 34th Annual Spring Art Show and Silent Auction on Tuesday, May 2 from 5 to 8 pm by inviting your friends and family to join us for an evening of art, music, and other surprises. I'd like to thank this year's Chair, Jane Golz and all of her volunteers for making this year's show bigger and better than ever! A reminder that Tuesday, May 16 is our next General Member Meeting from 6:30-8 pm at the Skidaway Community Church. Be sure to join us to welcome many new members and enjoy an interesting guest speaker. Cyndi |
