Breaking News Our Talented Artists Add Flare to the Auction
Penny Nichols’ artistic talents have been put to good use for this year’s auction, “An Evening in Paris.” Her original painting of a Paris street scene was used for the invitations and will also be featured as an AlmostLive item in the auction. In addition she’ll be acting the part of a street artist, creating more original work live and on the spot. We are so fortunate to have her on our staff, teaching our children, and volunteering at the auction. Thank you, Miss Penny! Auction guests will also be treated to amazing décor, created by Laura Ryan and her team. Shops, cafés, balconies and archways will line the walls, transforming the ballroom into the colorful streets of Paris. Many thanks to Laura and her team. Tickets are still on sale and we are looking forward to a fabulous evening!
