WOW WHAT A SUCCESS!!!!!!!

Hi All!
All I have to say is WOW!
What an AMAZING turnout last night for the arts fair!!
The children's artwork looked incredible in the frames as well as displayed on the tables.
Boy did all of that hard work pay off!!
I think my most favorite part of the event was watching the children as they came into the gym. They were BEAMING when they saw their work in frames!
And that is what it is all about...them.
They are going to be so excited when I tell them that our estimated revenue is $1400!!!!!!
Thanks again to all of you who came out and made a purchase or just came to check out the artwork. It's so great to know that there is so much support for the arts at our school!!

The next event where you will be able to see the children's artwork hung up and displayed will be at our International Dinner in June. A week or so after that will be our Art/Technology Fair where the artwork will be on display again, with additional works by afterschool students, including digital photography. Keep an eye out for the note that will go home with the information.

On a side note--last night, quite a few parents had asked about my personal artwork and where they can see it. I have shown my photography in galleries across NYC & am in shows often. I promised to post the link to my website on here so here it is: www.uniquelychacha.com
Click around & enjoy....
It doesn't get updated as often as I'd like to, with life and work getting in the way : ), but you can definitely see some of my work on there.

Once more, thanks SO very much to everyone for coming out and especially to all of those people who were involved in the setup and take down of the event. It was a success because of the help and participation of all of you!

Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
