FYI
Carol Merola, our co-president has been ill since November and is now recovering nicely. We wish all our best to her.
We would like to thank Moonstruck Cafe in Winthrop Center for showcasing several of our local artists. The WAA had a group show there for the month of December. A few pieces of that show were sold. Our member Phillip Ellin has an exhibit there now of his wildlife photography for the month of January.
Kaari Sullivan has one of her photos published in the "Photographer's Forum, Best of Photography 2009" Kaari's photo the "Widow Maker" was chosen to be published. This photo was a first place winner in the WAA 2009 Spring Art Festival. Congrats Kaari!!!
