A special note from Lauren Pelon…
Ok…I present hundreds of community concerts, humanities programs
and school shows every year….but it is rare to receive such a warm
welcome from so many lovely people with such “eager hands” ready to
assist in whatever way possible. You were simply the best…helpful,
generous (thank you for the lovely welcoming bag of goodies!),
dedicated & talented artists, compassionate and fun! I greatly
enjoyed working with you, and look forward to staying in touch
Thank you for your dedication to the Madison Area Arts Council, for
presenting my program in Madison, for all the hauling (and other
help) and for all the good you are doing in the world.
I hope that it will be possible to work with you again sometime in
the future! Let’s stay in touch.
Gratefully yours – with best regards,
