Monroe Envt. Center Welcomes Lucille Norella
Lucille Norella's art will be shown at Monroe County Environmental Education Center starting with an artist's reception on March 12 (see calendar).
"Nature is always creating for us flowers of infinite beauty,” she says. Her artwork is created from flowers hand-picked from her own garden. Flowers are specially preserved in order to retain their rich color and striking detail. They are then thoughtfully arranged and framed to eternalize the beauty of living flowers.
The exhibits kicks off with an opening reception on Friday, March 12 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The public is invited to view the exhibit, meet the artist and enjoy some refreshments free of charge.
Lucille’s garden of framed flowers will be on display from March 12 to May 6 during regular business hours, and also Saturday, March 20, April 10 and 24 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For more information call (570) 629-3061 or visit mcconservation.org.

COTA's 2011 Calendar Seeks Photos and Poems!
COTA's second annual calendar will
benefit the Ralph Hughes Scholarship, which goes to the COTA Cat student with the highest GPA. In 2009
during the COTA festival, a check for $1000 was presented to the winning
student; and an original piece of music was commissioned with the proceeds. Last year, musician and songwriter Bob Dorough wrote and performed an
original composition at the Deer Head Inn scholarship dinner: "I Got Me
A Horn In High School" which was dedicated to the late Ralph Hughes. This year COTA is commissioning Phil Woods to write the music. Entries will be evaluated and winners chosen by mid-April for the benefit dinner on May 25. For more information email gar@garthwoods.com.
"The Arts are alive and well in the Poconos, especially Monroe County! Here’s another opportunity for lovers of music, art, and poetry to share their values."
