And the Show is Over

What a great show - Reflections of Nature 2019. So many truly great pieces. Perhaps the most difficult thing for the judges was to pick the overall Best in Show entry - but I am thinking they made a good choice! Scorpian Fish carved by Thomas Parkes. A totally amazing piece!

Perogy Night a Success!

Our Perogy fund-raising night was a huge success!

There were 70 people who enjoyed the evening at The Woods. We were able to raise over $1,200. What a great time for our first time arranging such an evening. 

Many thanks to John Waddington for getting the ball rolling and taking on much of the duties involved in organizing. Thanks as well to Darbie for lending his powerful voice to announcing the winners in the silent auction. Lori Merkle, Beth Campbell, Connie McConnell and Harvey Rebalkin were among the volunteers who combined forces with John & Darbie to make the evening such a success. 

Looking forward to doing this again.
