CHAC Heart Show Wants YOU to decorate a Heart!

Our annual Milagros del Corazon is scheduled for February 12th, from 6 to 9 pm at the Space Gallery across the street from CHAC. Hearts are still available. Pick yours up now.

PRIZES! This year we will hold a contest for the best, most artistic heart. Make yours a prize winner! Judges will be experts from outside of the CHAC membership. We will have Best in Show, second and third prizes.

CHAC Gallery needs this year's Heart show to be a highly successful fundraiser. Here is how you can help:

* Show your stuff! - Make your heart be truly representative of your usual high caliber work. Bidders are looking for a taste of your unique style so lets give it to them.

* If you don't have time to make a heart, can you donate something else? How about a piece of your artwork or some prints?

* Another alternative is to ask your service professionals to donate their services. Your manicurist, hair stylist, masseuse, dentist or travel agent might be willing to donate something if you simply ask them.

* Attend the auction. This year you will get 2 FREE tickets for decorating a heart. We will have live music and great food and drinks as well as all those beautiful hearts. Gift baskets, spa services and other wonderful items will be available for auction. Bring your sweethearts, family and friends and make a night of it.
