A Year in The Gallery
As I look back on 2016, I would say that it has been one of the best years of my life. While I have not been a “New Years Resolution” person. I have always had goals and as they say, these days, a “Bucket List”. This year has been one that has allowed me to cross off several really key items. At the end of December 2015, my husband Charlie had a triple bypass. I did not know what to expect when he came home. It is such an unpredictable situation. Will he have other issues? Will he need a lot of attention? But quickly, he recovered and we both agree he is healthier than ever. At the same time, GFAA moved into their first home. All of us on the Board worked really hard to prepare for this, but if truth be known...we hadn't a clue how it would turn out. We trusted our instincts, made the best decisions we could and moved forward. We got through some minor hitches, but I do believe that we can unequivocally say, this year was a major success. How do I really explain how this whole experience impacted me? When I come to drop off my art for a new theme and I see all the volunteers working hard so that another Exhibit will rise up, I am thrilled with the energy. Standing in the Gallery at a reception, I am awed by the people discussing and enjoying the art and the Gallery, in just the way I had hoped. When I was addressing the members at the social, I couldn't help but see the smiles, hear the laughter and recognize the real interest on everyone's faces. I am like a proud mama, whose children have made A's on their report card. While you might think, how do you beat this year or do better than A's? We can and we will, because we know we have the support we need in our membership. As a mother, you know that there is so much more in your kids and I know there is so much more in GFAA members. You keep proving it every Exhibit with your art. We have some great plans for 2017 and I will share some of them next week. For now, I am going to feel really good about 2016 and you should too.

Really enjoyed reading this! Thanks for sharing such useful information. I found the discussion around sleep routines particularly interesting. I’ve also been looking into Medisupplis offers cervical neck traction device and best neck traction device.
This article provides useful information in an easy-to-understand format. I was researching winpkr apk, and the explanation helped me understand what users should consider before installing an APK. Checking the download source, permissions, compatibility, privacy practices, and security is important whenever installing an application from outside an official app store.
Really enjoyed reading this! Thanks for sharing such valuable insights. I’ve found Shoe Daddy’s shoe cleaning wipes, shoe wipes, and wipes for shoes especially convenient, while sneaker cleaning wipes are perfect for quick cleanups between regular washes.
I've been exploring different academic discussions and noticed that assignment writing often comes up as one of the more structured but challenging tasks for beginners. In one post, Assignment Writing Help was mentioned in the middle of talking about how people handle tricky coursework. It's interesting because even though academic writing follows clear rules, applying those rules in real assignments can still be confusing at times. I personally struggle most with combining structure and argument correctly, especially when multiple sources or requirements are involved. One small mistake can affect the entire submission, which makes reviewing work feel like a long process. I think the key issue is not understanding the topic but remembering how to present it properly under pressure.…
Reading about the gallery’s year in review was interesting because it highlighted how many different exhibitions and creative events took place over the course of the year, giving a real sense of an active artistic community rather than just a list of accomplishments. Looking back at a full year like this also shows how consistent effort builds something meaningful over time, whether it’s an arts program, a personal project, or even balancing responsibilities like Online Assignments alongside other commitments. I found myself wondering which exhibition or event drew the strongest response from visitors, since there’s often one unexpected moment that becomes the highlight of the year for both artists and the community.
