To the editor:

SJCCA and our Expo Artists want to thank our Pine Island neighbors for attending the Art Expo. You make our show a success. And, we all look forward to seeing you next year.

The SJCCA also wants to thank our volunteers and Pine Island artists that made this year’s Expo the best ever! A very special thank you to our Jurist, Barbara Albin, an instructor for the Visual Arts Center and a Sea Grape artist in Punta Gorda and bluegrass stylists, Peg and Bob Cullen with St. James Creek.

Dedicated volunteers make a successful event. We thank the Hot-Shot Photography Club for set-up and tear down, publicity chair, Mary Schuette and her Golden Brush volunteers who helped get the posters out, Jodee’s exercisers for food prep and presentation and Sharon and Michael Astle for hosting the food and wine.
