As you look through our booklet and our offerings cited on our Website, you will see that our Program and Study Group Committees worked diligently to put together another great season of entertaining and educational art-themed events for our members. Leslie Goddard will return for our first event "Lucille Ball" and will also close our season with a surprise "Members' Choice." Make sure you get your reservation in quickly for the September event in order to have the opportunity to help choose the topic for June! Please take the time to look through the booklet and check out all the other events our committee has put together for your enjoyment. I hope all of you will find the topics to be fun, relevant and interesting. Our Study Group Committee has done a wonderful job with the line-up of topics for our monthly get-togethers. Christine Small will be presenting "100 Years of Fashion", and we have new speakers who will help to educate us on Multimedia Art, Outdoor Murals, the Art of Origami and more. Please consider joining us at the Lake County Public Library for these informative discussions.

As NICAA's President, I would like to once again thank all of my Board members who always step up to the plate and help in the planning, organizing, managing reservations, communicating with all of you, etc. Without all of these hard-working women, NICAA would not have been able to bring quality programs to all of you over the past six years. But I would be remiss if I did not also thank all of you who have joined NICAA and helped make our organization a success. A quote from "Field of Dreams" says it all: "If you build it, they will come." Our Board members have built it and, thankfully, all of you have come! I truly hope all of you enjoy this season.
