The South Bay Hands on Art appreciation brunch is a
wonderful event to give thanks to the many docents who commit time and energy
to the program throughout the school year.
We get to look back over the past year and look forward to the new.
Stefani Conniff inspired us all talking about the origins
and success of Reaching Out. The first
person she told her idea to said ‘No’, but she went ahead and done it anyway.
We got to see all the board members together in one place
at the same time. For many, especially
new docents, this is the first time seeing the faces of those that work to keep
the program moving forward.
Thank you to everyone involved with putting the brunch together and for making all the docents feel very appreciated.

Art school year beautifully.
And of course there is the big reveal – what everyone is eager to know - next year’s projects…
