You may have noticed that the Art Center is undergoing a physical transformation.  A few months ago, Bob Treaster, a volunteer at the Art Center, decided that our buildings needed a face lift.  He came to a Board meeting armed with color chips and asked for permission to repaint the place.  He wanted to pay for the permits, do all the work, and he wanted to pay for the paint.  He made us an offer we couldn't refuse.   He went through two meetings with the Art center Board, Peggy Templer and Michael McDonald to approve the colors.  Once the decision was made, Bob and I went to the Historical Review Board together, and were thrilled that they approved our permit application.  Then, he purchased the paint,  and with very little outside help has painted the Main Gallery Building.  There is some cleanup, repair and preparation to be done on the computer lab and Apartment #4.  When that is completed Bob will continue the painting. His goal is to repaint all the currently painted buildings. This can only be a labor of love.  Bob is a true Creative Action Hero and we can't thank him enough for all he is doing for us.  If you would like to volunteer some time to help him, you can find him at the Art Center almost every day.
   


You know, I just love these warm, fuzzy stories.  Luckily I have a few of them to tell.  So stay tuned for next week's volunteer making a difference.
