Heralding the Holidays December 2, 3 and 4
Linda Miller is chairing this event, one of the major annual fund raisers for our club. Several people have already volunteered to help her, but more are needed. Make a difference for TAC, please volunteer. Registration form will be available soon.
Donations for Heralding the Holidays
Donlyn is taking in donations of 5x7 inch paintings that she will mat with plastic sleeves to sell all year at the Toledo Artist Club. They did especially well at Heralding the Holidays the last few years. Take a few minutes and make a fun little painting. It's like donating a ten dollar bill but using your talent. You can give your donations to myself, Janet Wharry, or leave in the donation box at in the classroom at the club.
