Letter from the President

August 2019 President's Letter

Hello Fellow Guild Members,

I am coming around the bend into the final stretch of my first year as President of the Guild. We have made a lot of progress. New Membership has increased this year and we have had

several successful fundraisers.I am super focused on increasing volunteerism and fundraising projects for the Fall.

I look forward to celebrating with everyone on September 4th at Aqua Blu Restaurant, for our Annual Members Dinner where the new executive board and trustees will be inducted for the next year.

I will be making a toast to all of my helpers, supporters, and creative artists at the dinner so raise a glass with me as we round the bend.

Artistically Yours,

AnnMarie Dario
