President´s Corner

Dear members and friends,

It's April and in addition to a lovely program, it's time for Etude's "Silver Tea". There will be a special cake from Lavendar bakery!

Members long ago were asked to donate their loose silver coins to raise money for scholarships for the winners of Etudes's scholarship program, the Young Artiists Competition.. This "silver" would go into a silver bowl on the Tea table.

Today, we encourage not only silver coins, but dollars and checks. Donations can also be made online through. All the donations this year will go for next year's competition, in 2027.

On May 18th, this year, we will be treated to a program with the winners of the 2026 competition.

Invite your friends!

See you on April 27th.

Best regards,
Marguerite Barron, President
