Ava Richey's Art News

(The computer I usually send this newsletter from crashed. I hope this reaches everyone and can be read.

If you sent me something for this week's newsletter, it has disappeared. Please resend it. Thanks...Ava)

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, November 14, 2011, 12:00 - 3 p.m., we will meet at Brewed Awakenings Coffeehouse. If the weather turns out to be lovely we can go over to the river where Ferry Creek comes in on 1st Street. Otherwise we will stay cozy inside the restaurant.

Brewed Awakenings is located across the street from the Shell Station in Old Town Bandon at the corner of Elmira and Hwy 101.

My phone is 541-347-4643 or cell is 541-297-6118.

Thanks.

Ava
