Although spring officially began March 21st, I now feel it has really arrived. I have been to the nursery twice already looking at plants. I can't wait to get some flowers for my window boxes. I hope this new year has been good to you so far. It has been rough for one of the Art Plus Gallery Members, Jody Rex. She has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is receiving treatment. She has many friends who are giving her much needed moral and financial support. The gallery is having a fundraiser selling prints of one of Jody's paintings with all the proceeds going to Jody. These prints will be available at the gallery after May 1, 2008. They also will be selling inspirational bracelets. If you would like to help please drop by the gallery or call; Art Plus Gallery, 604 Penn Ave., West Reading, Pa., 610-375-9122.
