Bob and I attended the Palmer Arts Council annual meeting dinner Friday night at the Red Beet Cafe in downtown Palmer, Alaska. The beautifully remodeled historic building was packed to capacity (100) and the atmosphere was warm, friendly, gracious and joyful. Pride shown. The arts council is thriving, growing and full of accomplished, talented members. One of my favorite ladies, Fran Ulmer, Chancellor, University of Alaska Anchorage, gave the keynote speech, and the highlight of the evening was the concert by percussion artist Meggie Aube. This is indeed a worthy organization and one that should be on the “join” list of all valley residents. Basic membership is $25.00, larger donations are graciously accepted, contact Palmer Arts Council at PO Box 4286, Palmer, AK 99645. Thank you for a lovely evening.
