Dear Friends,

 

“The beginning is always today.” Mary Shelley

 

Every winter provides a much-needed rest for me and a time to set goals for the new year. I believe in the possibilities that each year presents and I would encourage you to join me in setting a positive outlook for 2021. With that in mind, I want to share with you the brooches that have been selected for renewing Moss Society members. This will be our 34th year together and I am proud of our legacy and the continued hard work of our members and chapters.

 

Nature’s Beauty is the 2021 Adult member brooch. This is a favorite painting of mine that was done in 2014 for Blue Ridge Public Television.

 

For our Junior members, age 1-19, I have selected Abuzz in the Clover. Please note that each Adult member may purchase one Junior member brooch each year. The cost is $20.

 

The annual application period is open for the P Buckley Moss Endowed Scholarship. Applicants for this scholarship must be a graduating high school senior with a verifiable learning difference who plans a career in the visual arts. I encourage you to share this information with your communities, churches and schools. We want to reach as many individuals as we can and provide an educational opportunity that may not have been otherwise accessible. Here is the link to the application page. It includes the instructions to apply.

Until next week,

 

Love,
