Dear Supporter,
Thank you so much for the outstanding support you have given me in the short time since I filed for State Representative District 32! Your volunteer work and donations have energized my campaign. Because of your help the campaign has been going outstanding.
In the past few weeks, I have received endorsements from many groups, including labor, police, environmental, and the Orlando Sentinel. They have chosen to support the candidate who has the experience to do the job, and has shown the willingness to listen to the citizens concerns.
Now I must ask for your help , as today is the closing day for donations before the primary. Help make this campaign successful by donating online today or joining me at Dixie Crossroads in Titusville tonight at 6:30pm. Your continuing support is so appreciated! Please forward this email to your friends. Thank You.

“Kindred Spirits: Installations by Betye Saar and Mildred Howard”
Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, Eatonville
Museum Opening & Reception •
An Installation Art Exhibition by Betye Saar and Mildred Howard at the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, opening on Saturday January 26, 2008, 6 p.m. Both Saar and Howard are distinguished, award-winning, “eye-catching” artists, who are masters in “making art." Their selected medium for the exhibition is an installation featuring mystical themes. Installation art is a unique artistic genre that even seasoned arts patrons seldom have opportunities to see. The ZORA! Festival audience and subsequent viewers will experience, according to Ms. Howard, how art is made from “myth and ritual, memory and place, religion and family, metaphor and symbolism, music, light, tradition and found objects.” The installation, which will remain in the museum through April 2008, will evoke the vibrancy as captured “in the spirit” of the theme. |
