So nice to have an eloquent president at times like these.
“Life is very fragile and our time here is limited and precious, what matters at the end of the day isn’t the small things … it’s ultimately how we choose to treat one another and love one another. It’s what we do on a daily basis to give our lives meaning and purpose… at the end of the day what we will remember is who we love and what we did for others.”
To all you crafty minded people who aren’t going to a beach this weekend, I’ve got something for you to do on Saturday, July 21 at the Brooklyn Museum, which is very well air-conditioned.
I just heard from Julia Santoli a member of the Adult Programs division of the Education Department at the Brooklyn Museum.
This Saturday, July 21 at 2 pm, the Brooklyn Museum is holding a Creative Art Making program called “Stitch This.”
Led by Etsy artist Jessica Marquez, participants will create bold, graphic works of art combining thread and paper with images and text. Participants will need to bring their own image (preferably as 5 x 5-inch photocopies), or be inspired to create something original.
There is a $15 materials fee, and registration is required. Register at www.museumtix.com or at the Museum’s Visitor Center.
Sounds fun, eh?
