Get hooked on hooked rug art
You're invited to view a series of hooked rug art in the hallway outside Apartment 3407 in Robert Fulton. It will be up through the month of July.
The four pieces were created by new resident Marilyn Bottjer. She is a fiber artist and former teacher at the American Folk Art Museum (NYC). She currently teaches a group called the Hudson River Rug Hookers which meets in Croton once a week. Marilyn is a new member of the CAFA Committee.

Sign-up sheets will be in the usual place outside the Computer Room.

Common Areas, Furniture & Art Committee Meeting
I think we can all agree that the hallways and common rooms here at Kendal have been more than beautified by the addition of genuine art and tasteful furniture.
The committee that is responsible for our internal beautification is the Common Areas, Furniture & Art Committee (CAFA).
CAFA will hold a meeting on Thursday, June 30th in the Art Room.
Questions about the meeting and the activities of CAFA should be addressed to Jackie Wilke.
