Friends,
The monthly Social Nights at the Museum are becoming an established part of cultural life in Clarence. Every month we have 60 to 80 new guests attending our art openings of artists from Pittsburgh to Toronto, musical events, interesting lectures, etc. In August 2002 we had a tribute to the inventor Dr. Wilson Greatbatch, with over 250 invited guests in attendance. This special event was sponsored by honorary consuls of eight countries.
Every Social Night that you sponsor will bring your name to the forefront. Join us in our efforts to bring more fine art and cultural events into our town of Clarence.
If you like to become a Sponsor, please contact co-directors John Zavrel (759-6078, e-mail: zavrel@meaus.com) or Mary McAndrew Stephen (mary@marymcandrew.com) to make the arrangements.
