There will a Celebration of Life Memorial Service for John “Chris” Brault on Saturday, July 28th from 2:00 to 5:00 at The Eagles Hall on Litchfield Street in Leominster.

Chris was a long time LAA member and  a  talented photographer who passed away last November. His work has been displayed all over the region including  the Fitchburg Art Museum, and the Leominster Public Library where he also taught photography classes.

Chris enjoyed writing poetry, creating personal picture cards, framing photographs, spending time at the gym, spin classes, walking, going to the movies with his friends and had a love for the sun. Above all else, his greatest passion was for his family and friends and he loved nothing more than spending time together and helping out.

Please join LAA members in remembering a good friend.  For those who can make it, the family has requested potluck items to share with the guests.

Our first meeting of the new season on Tuesday, Sept. 19^th was very well attended with 69 people signing in. Everyone seemed happy to be meeting at the Congregational Church once again and the evening seemed somewhat like a reunion.

Our guest artist, Alicia Drakiotes gave us an entertaining demonstration of her new method of Poured Acrylic Art. Attendees gathered around her table and interacted with Alicia and each other as questions were asked and information shared as she explained how she mixed the ingredients and showed how to pour colors onto different surfaces to form colorful abstract art.

Thank you, Alicia! For more info on Alicia’s art please visit her website:  www.aliciadrakiotes.com
