Sunday of Columbus Day weekend, October 7, 2007, is the final painting day for completion of the Tree of Life mural. Donors, pay a visit to choose where your name will appear in the mural and see the young mural artists at work.
The fund drive is still in progress. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. And, it’s not too late to have your name added! Donations of $200 will get your name integrated into the graphic on the wall in 2″ letters.
Some of you may have noticed the group of teenagers at work on the mural on the north side of 108 Harrison Street in Frenchtown. Who said ‘yes’ to this project? Well, River Union Stage said, “Yes, we would love to have this project be included in the RUS Outreach Program to help fuel the endless flow of imagination!” And about 15 area teens said “Yes, we would love to paint this mural,” and Michael Padovan, the building’s owner, said “Yes, a great project!” And Frenchtown’s Planning Board said, “Yes!” And Val Sivilli of Civilian Basics said “Yes, let’s go for it!”
Val adds, “So, now it’s your turn to say ‘yes’ to such a lovely fundraiser for our local theater group, who have brought Shakespeare, Puppet Theater, Film Festivals, plays and New Works Readings to our town – with a great commitment to the arts. I’m proud to be guiding this process and making the arts a physical presence in Frenchtown.”
Many thanks to donors Civilian Basics, The Frenchtown Pharmacy, Two Buttons, the Petivan-St. Onge family, local residents Catherine Lent and Pat Griffith, as well as all who have been adding to area collection jars.
