Guest of honor, the mayor of Laguna Hills, Mr. Allen Songstadt.

This was the area where the paintings were displayed over the weekend.

This is Deladier Almeida in front of his two lovely paintings.

In the course of four days, this is the only time I saw Enzie sitting down. Her energy, leadership skills and good humor helped make this a truly memorable event. Thanks, Enzie!

My congratulations to Enzie for such a well run, class event. It was my extreme honor to be in the company of these talented artists.

Following is Linda Brandon accepting her well deserved "High Honor" for "Chloe in the Mountains."

The following group of photos was sent by Bryan Bautista. This shows the exhibition hall.

I run the Rotating Gallery at the Laguna Hills Community center. The gallery is a way for artists of all ages, working in any medium to exhibit their work on a monthly basis. This is an opportunity for the visitors of the center to not only get accustomed to different art styles, but also interact with the artists during the "Meet the Artist Reception'.

It also serves for members of Socal-ASOPA to practice setting up a gallery exhibition and interact with the general public. Artists are required to have an updated artist bio and attractive promotional materials and play host to visiting art appreciators.

Here the mayor of Laguna Hills, Mr. Allen Songstadt talks about the gallery and how artists of our region have made an impact of art awarness.

Well done, Enzie. I know you've worked very hard to make all this happen. It's all in the details and I can tell you've done a fabulous job.

Dear Cynthia,

Thank you for your compliment. I have been sneaking peeks at the forum in an effort to catch up with all the wonderful posts I have missed and saw a thread honoring all your hard work.

I can not take all the credit, you deserve a heartfelt "Thank You" as well, without the forum and your generosity I could have never reached the audience I needed to make this a well received show.
