Buckets on the Table: Rescue Relief in Australia
Speaker of the Day: David Blanchard, Knox County Art Society
David started off in the nature conservancy, Mass Audubon, as well as many other art related venues in Maine. About 10 years ago, an art class was offered and David took a painting class, which changed his life, seeing the world in a different way. Which led to Life Drawing, a fundamental part of art training. He developed the Camden Life Drawing class which has led to the development of the Art Society! They are a growing group of 60 members! Art Loft in Rockland developed a close relationship with the group with a teaching venue, running programs at the Art Loft.
Rotary Minute: First name on your name badge is the Largest! There is a reason for this…first name use is a beginning of personal friendships. Nick names also developed as well! Any ideas for nick-naming our own members?
