Hello Members
—— Letter From The President of the LVAG ——
Letter to LVAG members and friends
THERE IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION
As most of you know by now the London Arts Center is experiencing plumbing and sewer problems. We have had to cancel our picnic and several classes and events.
Because we lease the building from the city of London, we must wait while they obtain the necessary paperwork to get the problem fixed. Until the issue can be resolved, they will install Porta Potties at the Center for use so we can resume classes and events.
We will have free pizza and pop at our September meeting. Nominations for next years 2024 Directors will be taken at that time.
The Gallery is open Although we have canceled our scheduled yearly picnic until next year. Most of the Youth classes have resumed. Please check with class teachers for conformation.
We have enjoyed many fun classes and events and look forward to many more this fall and 2024. If you would like to be more involved or just come and enjoy fellowship please attend the September 26 meeting and let your voices be heard.
Thank you
Sandy Fox President LVAG
