This New Year brings with it new responsibilities to Membership
Meetings & Programs
all the members who would like to see this
organization continue the path of growth it has
taken over the past several years. The development
of the Scholarship/Outreach Program has been
something that we may be proud of as a small
non-profit group. We have been able to assist
graduating students, continuing their education in
the arts in awarding two $ 1000.00 scholarships. In
addition last year we sent two elementary students
to a two week Art Enrichment Camp something
they would not have been able to attend if we had
not assisted them.
This is part of what we should be all about.
Promoting the arts for not only us as artists, but
reaching out to the young in our community to
assist them in their pursuit of cultivating their
talents.
