Although attendance was light we all had a great time visiting, chatting about the newest addition to the Wines of the Neighborhood – Ales. Quite a few enjoyed a taste of some micro brews by local breweries. Margaret Burkhart had her jungle beasties on view. These are incredible, fun pictures done in her very special style. We will have her collection of African cultural items on display during August, it will be a fun show. We are in the midst of planning our Annual /Dinner/ Auction Event too. that is scheduled August 13 . the social hour will be at the gallery and the dinner will be at the Senior center next door. The tickets are $15 advance sale and $18 at the door. This promises to be an outstanding event. If you would like tickets or just want to donate to a registered 501-c 3 organization call the gallery at 509 773 5100 and we will mail them or hold them for you at the door. We really need support as we are not making it with sales in this depressed economy
Many thanks to Goodwill of Yakima , WA for letting us have a worker 2 days per week,This program for seniors wanting to get ready to step into the regular work world has been a real blessing to us. A couple of new artists have signed on but we are losing one of our long time members, Ron Sheldon.
Come and visit us soon!
