Anne Kenyon
Anne Kenyon is primarily a landscape artist who has worked in a
variety of media over the years: handmade paper, watercolor, pastel
and most recently printmaking. She often combines media to achieve a
more interesting result- pastel over watercolor or watercolor and
pastel over a hand pulled print. Combinations of media allow the
exploration of compositions and color in a variety of ways. An image
in one media can lead to interesting explorations of the same
composition in another.
Bob Martin
Unlike production wood bowl turners who need to quickly produce
uniform bowls, turners like Bob Martin seek highly figured wood to
make bowls. Figure in wood comes from parts of a tree under stress,
like at the base of the tree or the crotch formed with a branch. Many
bowls come from decaying wood that offers worm holes, bark intrusion
and stains from insects or the decaying process. Each bowl is unique
and the form of the bowl is not determined until Bob begins turning
the wood.

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Penns Valley Music Boosters Launches Shoe Collection Drive to Raise money for Band and Band Front Uniforms
Shoe donations will also support micro-enterprises in developing nations and reduce what goes into landfills
Spring Mills, PA, March 1, 2019: Penns Valley Music Boosters is conducting a shoe collection drive on March 1st – April 30th to raise funds for Band and Band Front Uniforms. The PV Music Boosters will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all the donated goods. Those dollars will benefit the student's uniform fund. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes at the following locations: American Legion Post 779, Centre Hall; Weaver’s Store, Spring Mills; Shades of Red Salon, Aaronsburg; Old Gregg School Community Center, Spring Mills; Centre Hall Library, Centre Hall.
All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school.
“We are excited about our shoe drive," said Amy Smith, Music Booster President. "We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone,” added Amy.
By donating shoes to the Penns Valley Music Boosters, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives.
