The Ely Art Club held a benefit concert in May. It was
such a successful fundraiser, it was decided to do-
nate $1,030 to fulfill the High School Art Department
Wish List. Shaun Chosa of the Ely Art Club awarded
the money to art teacher Kelly Chick who was hired
two years ago. The Ely Art Club, in its fourth year,
meets with students after school to work on art proj-
ects and will now offer art classes to younger stu-
dents from third through 12th grade, starting in No-
vember. Watch for posters for start up at the school.
Chosa says, "Art is for everybody. The earlier you
start the better." Photo byPam Roberts '

THANKYOU
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,
If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all,
lust thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.
