2006
It has been another successful summer season thanks to all
the artists who kept the shelves full. We have many new members and it is
wonderful to see such variety and talent coming from our own
The Whistle Stop
Gallery has a new project in the works. We have received a $5000 grant from BC
Lottery Corp to teach students to paint a mural. The mural will be painted this
spring. Anyone interested in teaching the students and helping design a mural
please contact the Gallery at 569-8891.
Through the efforts of our dedicated Hockeyville Committee we have painted
the town blue – now let’s paint it beautiful!
Margaret
Griffiths is organizing a series of workshops and classes this winter. From
arts and crafts to taxes and finance – please call the Gallery if you are
interested in conducting or taking a class. If you have ideas for a class or
supplies to donate, these would be welcome too!
New
faces at the Gallery this winter - as we say goodbye to our summer student and
welcome some part time helpers to keep the Gallery running smoothly this
winter.
Excellence in friendly customer
service is our goal. We will be offering free Christmas Gift wrapping and going
above and beyond to make the Gallery experience one to remember.
We
wish to thank Cory Lamming, our
summer student who has helped keep the Gallery shining this summer.
Our
web site is online and looking good. Cory has been busy adding artist bios and
many more pictures. If you have your own website, be sure to give us the
address so that we can link it to our site.
Special thanks go again this year to
Mr. Glen Frear whose unfailing hard work and dedication to the Gallery is a
large part of its present success. Thank
you too to Sheilagh Foster, our Society Chair and all the members of our
executive – we couldn’t do it without you!
We now have 68 members and the
variety and quality of work continues to surpass wildest expectations. Visitors
keep coming back and finding new things to be excited about. Come in and check
out all the new things from all of our members. Our family of talented people
just keeps getting bigger and better.

Congratulations and many
thanks to all
It is with extreme regret that we have had to say goodbye to one of our members this summer. Susan Demaine, crafter and Society Director, passed away in August. A talented and energetic lady who helped create the look the Gallery has today -among other accomplishments too numerous to list. She will be greatly missed.
