Three Things You Can Do to Help Us with Our Move






In case you missed it, we are moving to ArtServe effective October 3.

Here are three things you can do to help.

Renew your membership now.  Our membership costs will be increasing at our new location.  You can lock in the costs we have held for seven years by renewing now.  Your membership expiration date will be extended for an additional year.  Has your membership lapsed or were you thinking about getting a membership?  Do it now.

Donate money.  We have expenses related to the move.  Plus, we will be closed for about six weeks but still have to pay rent on at our current location.  Your donation will help keep us going.

Volunteer.  We need help to move.  Email or call us at 888-828-8242 and let us know when you can help.
