Taste of the Arts
June 8 - Plein Air painting (Manila pond)
- Considering skipping taste of the arts for Summer because it can get so crazy
- Also consider sharing other events in the community rather than running all of our own events. For example, share the regency event in the fall.
Share with our community the options available to them and occasionally provide as well
This kind of a share aligns with our Mission statement
