Greetings! As we approach the fifth anniversary of the Glenn & Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center, it's time for us to celebrate our partnership with you - our patrons and supporters - and to reflect on where we've been and to plan for the future. One of the ways we are marking this anniversary is with a new banner for this e-mail and for our web page. We hope you like it.
Thank you for five years of community support: for your participation in our wide range of classes; for your attendance at our concerts and special events; for reading your poems during Open Poetry Night; for browsing our gallery and supporting our artists; and, most of all, for giving us the opportunity to be a part of this community. We look forward to continuing to provide quality programs and offerings for you and your family.
This month, you are invited to join us for our Fifth Anniversary celebration on Tuesday, March 3rd, starting at 6pm.
On behalf of the staff of the Walters Cultural Arts Center, we look forward to the pleasure of your company in 2009 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Cultural Arts Program Manager
