The ARTISTS of the Grand River Gallery have been asked to volunteer a bit of their time on Saturday Feb. 25th to inspire and foster creativity for the pre-schoolers attending "the Early Years" program in Caledonia. Anyone interested is encouraged to attend. Supplies will be provided and activities will be varied and will include poster paints, modelling clay, paper etc etc. This will only take a few hours in the morning and would be very much appreciated by the children, teachers and parents. Come and have some fun with us! The kids are young and inquisitive and the whole idea is to give them a sense of fun and discovery while encouraging their creative potential. I hope many of you will answer this call!
 

ALWAYS ON !
