May 07 Newsletter




























May 7th Meeting:  As you can see, yours truly won the raffle and had the honor of sitting for Dan Slapo, who did a
masterful job creating a likeness.  As promised the evening was enlightening, entertaining and peppered with
pearls of wisdom.  Thank you Dan!
                                                    
Art Show & Sale:  The art show and sale was once again a success.  The exhibitors that I talked to all had sales.  
We like to thank Cliff for his new fence design.  Everyone thought it opened up the area and made it more inviting.  
We also updated our signs by making them more colorful so they would catch the eyes of passersby and invite
them in.
