Events 2020

Elsa and Eka prepared a fun scavenger hunt, and gave out wonderful prices to the winners! 
It was a fun way to see everyone on Zoom, making us run through our homes to find treasures, and heartwarming to share an evening.
Everyone who was not able to make it, we missed you! 
Have wonderful Holidays!

A good turnout of members logged into the Cocktail Hour on Zoom. They shared their summer outings, short and longer trips, and plans for the upcoming months. It was heartwarming to see friends' faces and share a glass of wine or beer or margarita...

Carolina, Cary, Cynthia, Edith, Eka, Elsa, Ines, Joelle, Joyce, Lalitha, Lisa, Nana, Raisa, Renate, Rux and a few partners participated.

Cheers!

The meeting was well attended:

It was a wonderful informative presentation by Joelle. She did a masterful and professional job of explaining and demonstrating the various kinds of pastels and techniques that can be used to create different effects.  Thank you!

After a very tasty lunch at Stellina's, we went next door to the Armenian Museum of America. 

Our docent was very knowledgeable and gave a fascinating insight into Armenia's culture and tragic history. Thank you Garin for your time and Elsa for organizing this instrucive visit.

After our tour, Edith commented, "Susan (our docent) was fantastic. Not only did she know a lot about the photography exhibit, but her historical knowledge of the museum itself was fascinating. She made me want to learn more."

Many thanks to Elsa for organizing the tour in Arlington to view the works of Cyrus E. Dallin, an American sculptor best known for his depictions of native Americans.  Among his many  works is the Appeal to the Great Spirit that stands in front of the MFA.
