Art Show An Overwhelming Success
Mary Ann Mastrangelo 7972
Our professional exhibit on Saturday, August 25, 2007, was visited by more than 175 people. Members and their guests enjoyed a diverse selection of art and gathered to meet the artists and intermingle with friends and neighbors.
The Lake Room was filled with fine music courtesy of Robert Randazzo on the flute. The wine and cheese reception provided for a pleasant way to spend a summer evening.
The Art and Craft show on Sunday, August 26th was very will attended.
Congratulation to:
Judy Fortenbach’s photography won the award for “Best Highland Lakes Scene”.
The Larry Wilson “Best in Show” award went to Marci Werman. This is the first time that his award was given for a photograph.
I want to thank the Art Show Committee for the many hours of meetings and work that they give to produce a topnotch Art Show each year.

Quilt of Valor Takes Blue Ribbon
Made by Maryjane Wisniewski
This “Quilt of Valor” was made to donate to an injured military person serving in the Iraq war. I was inspired to make this quilt when my son, Col. Wisniewski retired U.S.A.F., met many severely injured men at Walter Reed Hospital. When my quilt group asked for volunteers to make quilts for our injured service people, I volunteered. It is with great pleasure that I accept the Blue Ribbon and even greater pleasure to be able to bring cheer to whomever shall receive it.

Tips on Mounting Art Work
If your art is in a frame, it should have a wire behind it for hanging. If your picture is not in a frame please mount it on oak tag or firm cardboard. Leave a boarder around the picture. Properly presented artwork will protect your picture. We strongly encourage all entrants to follow these suggestions.
