Greetings!  

    We all know the verity, esp for us older ones, of "time flies!"  Well, May is LTAS's 4th Anniversary, and I am elated at how we got here from there!  THANK YOU!   But I am also in denial; how does time do that?  Truth is it's not time, it's passion and a love for the Arts and creativity.  I'm sure you all know what I mean, whether it's 6 hrs working on an art piece & forgetting to breathe, so to speak, or enjoying artistic beauty, volunteering, etc.  Work isn't work when it's your calling or passion, and I believe we will be able to look back at these days of developing the Arts and say, "Wow!"
