FROM THE DIRECTOR Volume XII, Issue 4 Fall 2008 Editor Renee Hawkins Photography Marc Bailey, Niki Blaske, Mike Hawkins, & Jim Tilley Staff Executive Director Renee Hawkins Assistant to the Director Paula Davis ART EDUCATION DIRECTOR Niki Blaske Outreach & Development Patricia Jersild Events Coordinator Stephanie Ramey Peters weekly volunteers Joyce Allen, Jacqueline Colbert, Cynthia Herman (Cindy) Pollie King, Linda O’Hart, Margaret Partin, Ed Rast, Amy Reistenberg, Noble Roberts, Isabelle Seeger and Beverly Sheveland Design Wow, what a year! And it’s not over yet! We’ve still got a sculpture workshop, our Spooky Art Show, our great Ansel Adams photography show and our holiday events to end 2008’s long celebration of this museum being founded fifty years ago by the Junior Service League. We’re in good company. Texas Bank and Trust, STEMCO and Temple Emanu-El were also started in 1958. Nationally, Crayola crayons were introduced in 1958 on the children’s show I watched, Captain Kangaroo--ironically shown in black and white! Have you heard about the new crayon colors coming out this year with names like “Happiness” instead of “Rosebud Pink”? Can you believe with the ‘60s and ‘70s it took this long to come up with that idea? Then (and this is looming much more personally for me) AARP was chartered in 1958. As part of the Captain Kangaroo generation, I am becoming a member of the American Association of Retired Persons (due to my darling husband). If I thought it was rough with the museum turning 50 this year, just wait until it hits me next year! However, the museum will not be retiring. We’re just getting started! We’ve got BIG plans for the future and look forward to sharing them with you--starting with our New Year’s Eve Bash for 2008/2009! Come ring in the new year in LMFA style, with lots of food, drink, music and fun! Hope to see you soon!

The Main Street program that the City of Longview is involved in will match funds up to $15,000 for any face lifts we want to do out front. If you’d like to donate to our building renovation fund, we’d like to upgrade our look on Tyler Street and incorporate the ArtWorks building into the facade’s flow, so we can help downtown look even better! 4 5
