You find the most interesting people when you get involved with Arts for Life! For example, let me tell you about The 2 Patricias, whom I’ve never met but really like. Both were very eager to take our poetry class. Unfortunately, we did not have enough people, but in trying to arrange for it, I learned about these two women. They are fascinating! One is a visual artist and the other a journalist. Both were concerned about whether they’d have the time to write poetry because one has an exhibit opening shortly and the other just completed a 50 year retrospective on the JFK assassination. I would never have encountered these women were it not for the Arts for Life Expo.

I love the fact that they were both exploring an area outside of their usual professions, because that’s what Arts for Life is all about. While we could not pull together our poetry classes this time, I hope we will succeed in the spring, if for no other reason then to allow me to meet two special people. Come join us! Let’s find out how special you are too!

It’s not too late to join us in our drum group, recorder group, acting class or appliqué group. Interested? Contact me at 201–638–5698 or, better still, jguttman@me.com.
