The holidays will be happier and more creative thanks to a gift bags from Dunwoody Fine Art Association
Dunwoody Fine Art Association, a metro area artist organization established over fifty years ago, spread holiday cheer with their annual donation of new art supplies to the Corners Outreach program, a non-profit organization that serves needy families in the Atlanta area. This is the third year that DFAA has donated art supplies to children to support their creativity. This year, Elma Orr, noted local muralist, headed the program that provided gift bags to 150 students. Donna Barnhart, DFAA president, and Queenie Ross ordered all the materials. Then Donna prepared all the individual bags by attaching labels by grade level to ensure each student received supplies appropriate to their age. On November 29, Elma, Donna, Melanie Williams, Susan Proctor, Claudia Botwin, Pam Wetzel, Sundeep Kumar Parey and Michelle Ackerman met at the North Shallowford Annex to assemble the bags. Sundeep loaded the heavy boxes into the SUV, and he and Elma delivered the boxes to Corners Outreach. Kathy Duncan, the Corners Outreach Associate Program Director, received the 150 bags and expressed her appreciation for the art supply gift bags.
