Guess Who’s Visiting Estes Park In July? Waldo Of Course!
Art Center Gallery Manager Retirement Party The Art Center of Estes Park is sadly saying goodbye to Vickie Mastron who has served the organization as Gallery Manager for the past nine years. Vickie’s outgoing and sunny personality will be greatly missed. The public is invited to a going away party for Vickie on Sunday, June 30 between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Art Center, 517 Big Thompson Avenue, in Mid-
dle Stanley Village. Light refreshments will be served. Vickie and her husband, Bill
Cody, are relocating to Crestone, CO to begin a new life together, and everyone at the Art Center wishes them the utmost happiness.
Lars Sage, well known to many in the community, will begin his employment as the new Gallery Manager at the Art Center on June 24. He recently served a three-year term on the Art Center Board of Directors and was the primary force in launching the Estes Valley Plein Air event, successfully hosted for the first time last year by the organization. Lars’ energy, good humor and genuine love of people will be perfect qualities to help the Art Center move forward. Please plan to attend the going away party for Vickie at the Art Center as we all wish her well on their new venture.
