Happenings

Garden Party **As the sun set slowly behind the D.I.A., the ScarabfGarden became enchanted. The Kirschman band goteveryone on their feet, dancing in the tropical miragethat the Jacobs and Skoglunds magically produced. Thegarden had been "freshened" earlier by volunteers (weneed a "Garden Committee") and the spread put on byUoodbridge Tavern made the evening one I won't forget.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

The Scarab Club is a very special organization to usall, whether artist or patron. We all enjoy thesocial activities and exhibitions that "somebody" hashelped put together. However, there's usually morework behind the scenes than can be managed by thesmall handful of regular volunteers who make thingshappen. Further, the unfavorable economy dictatesthat Your support and participation is the criticalvariable between success and failure of the Club'sendeavors. There's a wide variety of tasks that needto be accomplished prior to activities. For instance,immediate help is needed with mailings, garden work,painting, decorations, etc. Please spare some timeand contact the office to assist one of theCommittees: Social, Finance, Membership, Newsletter,Physical Plant, Arts & Exhibitions. Your help will beappreciated.
