Our Presenters were Rebecca King and Michael Smith. Demonstrations were given by Mark Henry and Roger Nelson. Melissa Jacobs, Marion Vidal, Lily Beard and Paul Blankinship were in attendance representing a few of the students. Mimosas, strawberries and chocolate were served. Each spouse signed in our registry and were given a detailed brochure regarding the event and information regarding the Vadim Bora Scholarship. Ken Richards coordinated the group. It was a wonderful opportunity to have these distinguished guests in our school to hear and see why the Fine Arts League of the Carolinas is so different from any other art school one may attend in the US.
