THANKS TO THE BEST BOARD A PRESIDENT COULD EVER HAVE!
Hard working VP Donna Esher, officers, the board and all the members who volunteered (for anything!) have made this art season great. So many members, new and long time, graciously stepped up whenever needed. Their commitment, effort, time and integrity made it possible to have FOUR BEAUTIFUL SHOWS in this crazy post-hurricane year. You all amaze me with your talent, kindness and generousity.
I am one lucky president!
