The Arts in Gilmer County, More Important Than You Think

“The 2011/2012 calendar year at GAHA, which runs July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 is off to a great start,” says Tammy Williams, Director. “Members are steadily continuing to renew their memberships, and many individuals are adding a much appreciated little extra to their donations.”

“This year, we are inviting all members who have renewed their membership to a cocktail party as a small way of saying thank you,” informs Shay Lykins, GAHA Board President and co-chair of this event with Anne Johnson, board member. “We will acknowledge last year’s sponsors and event chairs for their dedicated support of GAHA,” adds Shay.

Reservations are not required for this event, and there is no cost to attend. If you haven’t already renewed your membership, simply do so before August 20th or just bring your renewal payment with you to the party. Individual memberships begin at just $25 and are tax deductible. As a member, you will receive 10% off classes and other benefits, including receiving our newsletter which will keep you informed of upcoming events.

“We have many exciting events planned for the upcoming year, many of which are already scheduled and listed on our Calendar of Events (an insert to this newsletter),” says Shay. Plans are underway for more supper club events, similar to the Dinner and a Movie and Dinner with Sherlock Holmes we held last season at GAHA. Smoke on the Mountain will be back for three nights in either October or November. This is a great show which completely sold out when they last performed at GAHA. In the music area, we have some coffeehouses and picnic events already on the schedule and plan to add even more. John Rathbone is hard at work planning a Christmas show and something for spring using local talent. Brand new to the calendar will be a golf tournament scheduled for October 7, chaired by board member Jack Nunn. Gary Hyde, who chairs the GAHA Heritage museum has a full line-up of exhibits for the upcoming calendar year and will also be offering something brand new to GAHA—a motorcycle run in the spring.Look for more details for all these exciting events we have planned. Your support and participation is needed to continue to make GAHA a success. “We can’t do it without you!” says Shay. Please make plans to attend our Membership Kickoff Cocktail Party on August 20 at 7 pm at the GAHA facility located at 207 Dalton Street in Ellijay.
