COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER SUPPORTS MELMARK

The Melmark Traveling Art Show received a warm welcome at the Newtown Square Library, thanks to Dorothy Elicker, Art Show Coordinator and member of the Friends of Newtown Square Public Library, a very active volunteer group.

Dorothy Elicker arranged for the Melmark Traveling Show kick-off with a grand opening night cocktail party. Many members of the Friends of the Library greeted the Melmark artists, welcomed members of their families and dialogued with the Melmark staff. The congenial gathering lasted late into the evening to the delight of all.

At the close of the 2007 Traveling Art Show schedule, Dorothy Elicker invited Melmark back to the Newtown Square Library to help celebrate the holidays.

A selection of 18 pieces created by the students and residents of Melmark graced the walls of the library.

As a token of Melmark’s gratitude for her leadership and support, Dorothy Elicker was presented with a lovely needlepoint cushion created by Meadows Guilders.

“How delighted I was to receive the gift, ” Dorothy wrote, adding, “ The cushion from the Meadows is on a desk in the front of the library and looks very colorful, filled with good thoughts. Every one at Melmark has enriched my life.”

..and Melmark is richer for Dorothy’s friendship!
