A special thanks to our September artists, Betsy Soares and Karen Klevanosky! Betsy displayed her beautiful artwork in our hall gallery and Karen filled our display case with a fabulous handmade pen collection. Both displays brightened not only our building, but our spirits as well. If you haven’t strolled through the gallery yet, there are a few days left for you to stop in to see what you’re missing.
