Bulletins

• Eilis Crean, art professor, is doing her part in stopping hunger. Her senior level students have sketched, drawn and painted bucolic scenes to be sold at a silent auction with proceeds benefitting food programs and shelters. The exhibit is now on display at the Neva Lomason Public Library on Rome Street and will move at the end of next week to the Agriculture Center.

Begun by The Growers School, a local sustainable-agriculture educational program, and the West Georgia Community Food Initiative, the auction’s proceeds will benefit a new food program that donates all fruit and vegetables grown locally to the local emergency shelter for women and children.

It’s a guilt-free way to start shopping for the holidays.
