Dear ADNA List Subscriber,
Our last ADNA get-together for December 2008 is a Holiday Shopping Event at VSA Gallery, in the Healey Building, this Tuesday (Dec. 9) from 6-9pm. Please join me and the ADNA Board to support this fine group and also get some beautiful and unique gifts for your friends and family. Proceeds from this sale benefit the
participating artists and VSA arts of Georgia, a nonprofit organization
with a thirty-year history of providing access to arts and cultural
events and programs to more than 100,000 Georgians with disabilities
and low incomes each year. This year's exciting selection includes
hand stitched books, decorative boxes, ornaments, paintings, origami,
jewelry, textiles, blown and stained glass.
Refreshments will be provided!
As I end my two-year term as President it is with a little bit of sadness but much gratitude for the support of our Board and the downtown Community. Thank you all for your involvement and commitment to making our neighborhood a better place to live and work. It has been a true pleasure.
With best wishes for the Holidays,
Whitney Rusert
ADNA President, 2008

Cancelling ADNA Skate at Centennial Olympic Park
Due to the many events we've planned for this month we're not holding a formal event for skating, but do take advantage of this activity on your own, or with friends and family. It's a true retro-experience as you slip and skate a circle to popular and holiday music around a hanging disco ball! Ninety-minutes of skating is $7 and skate rental $2.
