El Morro Area Arts Council First Quarter 2012 Volume 15, Issue 1 News Art Exhibition Opening & Reception Sunday, February 12, 3:00 - 5:00 pm Whew!! The last 6 months remind me of my long climb up to the top of Bond Mesa on October 1st for a spectacular aerial view of El Morro Village, the Old School Gallery, the Ancient Way Fall Harvest Festival tents, & the flurry of excited activity below. While I’m tired, winded & need to take a breather, the climb has been well worth it. I sit here looking back in awe & appreciation for all of the planning, creativity, work, fun, community spirit, contributions, special events, gatherings, festivals, rehearsals, meetings, theater, concerts, workshops, home grown sustenance & artwork that our unique community has magically “spun & woven” into this amazingly beautiful, living Tapestry that we call El Morro Valley. As I sit here looking around me, I see and feel a similar mood in the community. There is a slowing down, a pause, a peacefulness as the cold Winter settles in and we re-kindle our warm, blazing fires at home where we can rest in semi-hibernation and enjoy a quieter, slower pace for the next 3 months... until the March “breezes” bring a quickening, a warming, renewal, new life, new beginnings, new hopes & dreams that we will nurture into fruition in the coming year. Jerako cordially invites all of you to attend a staged reading of his new screen- play, written right here in Candy Kitchen. The story takes place one day in the life of Carol, a recently widowed woman somewhere in Ameri- ca. Her life unravels as she discovers everything she thought was right and good is turned on its head. The script deals frankly and honestly with family, sexuality and religion. Our community is incredibly diverse in these terms, and I am asking you for your heartfelt and honest feedback. February 10th & 11th at 7:00 pm, $5 suggested donation.

If you have a project that you would like scheduledin the next year, let's get them on the calendar so that we knowwhat is upcoming. I am thrilled at everyone's response during thelast year. Several things that we need to address are: storage,possibly a new floor and updated office equipment. Please staytuned as we assemble a list of needs and their priorities.Peace to all!
