SUCCESS!

The event was a success! Thanks to all the artists who were generous enough to donate their work. A big thank you to everyone who showed up and donated goods for the art. We were blown away along with the Daily Planet by the amount of donations. Six van loads of good were dropped off to the daily planet today and everything will go to good use!
Check back soon to see art that can still be "purchased" (with donations)
And hopefully next fall for another Donations for Creations

Here we are with Maureen Neal from the Daily Planet with half of the donations!
