Atlanta's Art at Riverfest

A BIG "Thank You!" to all those who helped make this weekend possible!  We raised close to $1000 for our various charities, passed out grocery lists for Good Shepherd and walk info for JDRF, told people about Welcome Home Angel, posted "Angels" in memory of loved ones for Hospice donations, sold our first painting for the Wilmington Ballet, and accepted donations for Mercy House.  It was a VERY successful start for Atlanta's Art.  Now that the business is underway and we have all our "supplies" in place, you can look for us to appear at more events around Wilmington!

Of course, the best part was talking to all the generous people who came to our booth to donate!  Their stories about friends and relatives who have worked with or been helped by these wonderful organizations was so heartwarming.  We decided to give out a total of 8 prizes from our "drawing" list!  Congrats to all the winners.
