The Mayor Bought My Chair

Well, we had our Gala and Auction for the AIRdirondak Chair Project to raise funds for an Art Centre in Airdrie, Alberta.
12 chairs were auctioned off with a wonderful result of $8650.00 raised!!!

Mayor Linda Bruce bought my chair along with another one which she plans to put in her back yard.
It was such a fun evening with live music, wine and cheese. They are planning on making it an annual event so I hope I can go next year and support my friends who will be painting chairs, as there are alright another 12 artists ready to go.

Thanks to all that made this event a great sucess.
