Thanks to one and all!
“Throughout our history we have been grateful for the on-going generous support of individual and corporate donors; for the continued involvement of our artist members; and for the many donations we receive throughout the year from art lovers in our community,” said Stahl.
“As there are so many worthy efforts that appeal for our community’s charitable dollars, each donation is appreciated and utilized in forwarding its mission; we wouldn’t exist without each and every one of our loyal donors. And, of course, we are grateful for the many in-kind donations of time and talent our volunteers offer. We couldn’t exist without these many types of support,” Stahl explained.
“We continue to hope that our ‘angel investor’ will walk through our door and eliminate the fundraising aspect of our efforts; there is so much fun to be had in the many other aspects of our work. We often envy galleries that are funded by trusts, or are connected to colleges and universities,” she concluded.
