The
Friends of the Arts’ (“FOTA”) 12 annual cards and games party was held recently
at Broadneck Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The event raised $4,530 that will
be applied to the FOTA Scholar Program, now in its sixth year. Dinah Little was
the Chair for this event. The committee included: Gail Olmstead; Doris Gomoljak; Jeanne Shaw; Ellenor Alvarez; Pat
Brooks; Annette Uroskie; and Aileen Thomas.
FOTA thanks the following for their generous contributions:
Applebee's Grill & Bar; Deep Creek Restaurant; Freda Gandy; Jalapeños
Restaurant; Kilarney House; Lures Bar & Grille; O'Loughlin's Restaurant and
Pub; PF Chang's Chinese Restaurant; Port Tack, Ltd Wines & Spirits;
Potbelly Sandwich Shop; Scotlaur Inn B&B; Chick & Ruth's Deli; Arlene
Walsh; and all of the Friends of the Arts Members who made donations.
Upcoming
FOTA events will include a May 12, 2015 bus trip to
Washington, D.C. to view outdoor sculptures. By popular demand, Friend and
artist Freda Gandy will lead this trip for the second time.
FOTA meetings and trips are on the second
Tuesday from September through June. We invite anyone who would like to join or
to learn more about trips or membership to contact Membership Secretary, Aileen
Thomas at 410 266-8784, or e-mail Friendsofthearts@excite.com.
