At this time of the year, when we are winding things up here at Art Docents,

 

it’s time to say thank you to our most important and vital assets….our Volunteers!

 

With our Volunteers

 

~ we can personally reach out to over 3000 students ~

 

~inspire those who want to be creative or who just need to find a passion that suits them ~

 

~help students to be critical thinkers~

 

~provide involvement in the arts which is associated with gains in

math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skills.

 

~improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork.~

 

~ connect people more deeply to the world and open them to new ways of seeing,”

creating the foundation to forge social bonds and community cohesion. (Edutopia.org)~

 

We have enjoyed so many new things this year along with dealing with some changes as well. 

Our docents have experienced loss of loved ones, health concerns, new grandchildren,

new family members, remodels, caring for parents, changing jobs,

children involved sports, plays and school work. 

 

This is life…both good and difficult

things happen in our everyday lives and yet

we still make time to give back and share our time and I

appreciate all the dedication of time and energy

VOLUNTEERS put into our community and our program.

Just wanted to let you all know that at our last meeting we voted in to move forward with our new logo for Fall of 2018.

Thanks to all those that helped make this happen.  Over the summer we will be updating our website
