President’s Message
Happy New Year! May all of your wishes for 2026 come true. I wish you a year filled with peace, joy, love and laughter. May you feel the spirit of creativity and may all of your art be fabulous! A big “Thank You” to those of you who donated toys during our first December toy drive. Your generosity made many children in our desert very happy! The toy drive was so successful that we hope to participate again next year.
