Boston, MA - ARTZ was an honored guest at the 2012 SKAL Club's annual luncheon and fundraiser, which was generously hosted by Boston's famed Colonnade Hotel on Thursday, December 20th. The SKAL Club is an international association of travel and tourism. To learn more about their great work please visit: www.skalboston.com.

  
Every year SKAL hosts a fund raiser for a local non-profit and ARTZ is so pleased to receive said honor this year. The luncheon, including a silent and live auction, raised several thousand dollars for ARTZ programming. ARTZ thanks everyone who made a donation at the luncheon. We salute the great work of SKAL, which has raised over $300,000 for charities through its annual fundraising campaign. Special thanks to David Colella, Director of the Colonnade, and his wife, artist Nancy Colella, for their enthusiastic support and commitment to improving the quality of life for people affected by Alzheimer's and related dementia.
