Greetings from our Chair
December has arrived and it is a time to appreciate our family and loved ones during this season of reflection and generosity.
Memories play a large part during the holidays especially as it closes yet another chapter and begins a new one with the New Year.
GAN has had a successful year despite being a young organization still on ‘training wheels’. The board and volunteers have worked hard to ensure the continuous growth of a community asset.
The new year promises to bring more programs and chances to socialize with our creatives.
We are family.
Wishing you all a happy holiday.
Thank you, merci.
Dennis O’Connor, Chair
