Experience the Arts!

Though spring is usually associated with new beginnings – it is the fall season when so many of our Member Organizations regroup and launch their new seasons.  Many of these affiliates welcome new members at this time.  So, I thought I would highlight some and encourage you, our readership, to think about signing up to sing, play, draw, paint, write, act – whatever your passion might be or even better - try something new!
