Letter from the BOD President:
Dear Members and Friends,

Are you enjoying the hot weather?  The weather may be hot and school may be out, but we still have many activities and events taking place in July.

We are still accepting artwork for our next Art In The Hall exhibit.  The theme is Summertime Fun.  All mediums are welcome!  If you have something you'd like to enter into the show, read below for details.  Registration is easy and you'll get to show off your talent at Hudson Town Hall throughout the summer.

Our Summer Drama Workshop program begins next week!  This is our 30th year!  We hope you'll come and see all of the shows that the kids have to offer this year.  All shows are at Assabet Valley Regional Vocational High School.  Come enjoy a few hours of some wonderful theater in an air conditioned auditorium.  Details below.

We are still accepting submissions for our One Act Play festival.  We are looking for show suggestions and more!  This is open to members and non-members.

Happy 4th of July!
Lisa Schliker -  REAA BOD President
