Fond Farewell Exhibit

The Masonic Village Art Association’s “Featured Artist” for November is Katie Blair.

Katie will be moving to Avery Point Senior Living in Richmond, VA. She has enjoyed the past eight years living at the Masonic Village, and has been a prolific artist and active member of the art association.

Katie would like to share her art with everyone in her “Fond Farewell Exhibit” from Nov. 6 – 30. To kick-off her exhibit, Katie will hold a reception in the Masonic Village Art Studio on Sunday, Nov. 6, from 1 – 4 p.m. You are invited for refreshments and treats while you enjoy her artwork and the work of other members.

Her art is available at greatly reduced prices. At 3 p.m. there will be a drawing to give away one of her paintings to a lucky attendee.

Lifelong DISCOVERY FUND

Explore how the Discovery Fund can be beneficial to all! We have many clubs on campus who have speakers or presentations. Perhaps there is a presenter or speaker who charges for their program that doesn’t necessarily fit into the club’s budget. This would be a prime opportunity to contact Jen Stuckey and ask about the funding of this special presenter who would bring knowledge, an engaging topic, a new experience plus question-and-answer opportunities. It could be a program that specific clubs would like to do, and make it open to all residents, and the costs associated with it would not be a concern. This is the time to look for other activities or events that fall within this realm and explore options and make some things happen.

Please don’t hesitate to call and inquire with Jen Stuckey, activities supervisor, at ext. 14509.
