Everyone enjoyed Karen Lee
Howell’s presentation so much;
I heard lots of compliments and
expressions of appreciation. So
thank you to Karen for such an
informative talk.
And a special thank you to Mona Houle,
Freddie Lieberman, Debra Torres, and
Phyllis Lindsey for volunteering to be
nominated for our unfilled, but vital, elected
positions. These are the people who make
our organization possible!
If you haven’t seen our Scottsdale Artists’
School show yet, go! And see how good we
are. And if you run out of things to do,
thank a volunteer – or even a few of them!
