Elaine Nienkamp’s show will be coming down November 7 and the art center will be available to set up for the HOLIDAY SALE. We are still in need of a coordinator to organize the sale and to bring the group together to discuss advertising, presentation, sales procedure and scheduling. In the prior sale event, the camaraderie was great and the efficiency of our teamwork was spectacular. Please consider organizing and leading this event!
