A BIG Thank You to those volunteers and staff that helped support the Foundation at the 2023 Westlake-Bay Village Rotary Art Festival this past weekend on the Westlake Porter Public Library grounds! The art show is a way to reach more individuals in the community by introducing them to the Foundation’s programs and sharing art created by our participants.

A SPECIAL NOTE….!

We are seeking glass marbles or stones for vases for floral arrangements. Does anyone have any extra to donate? They are needed for our centerpieces for the upcoming Gala.

Thank you!
