In Memoriam Joan Barsotti Board members, staff and friends of the Arts
Council were deeply saddened by the loss of local author and friend of
the arts, Joan Barsotti. Her playful children's books reflect her love
of family and adventure. She will be missed by all. Pictured at right: back cover of Andrew and Nana on Safari, by Joan Barton Barsotti. |
 American River Music Festival - Sept 17-19Letter to EDAC members  Hello EDAC members!
As a little boy, my grandpa taught three-part harmonies to my brothers and me. He was a painter
and sang in barbershop quartets as well as played the mandolin, guitar and
ukulele. My father was a classical
pianist. My daughter just graduated from
California College of the Arts as a printmaking major.... This is why the American River Music Festival offers Arts Council members and their friends a limited number
of discounted tickets to the festival.
AND, for each ticket you buy, the festival will make a donation to EDAC. For only $20 ($35 at the gate) you can enjoy a full day of great Folk,
Americana and Acoustic Blues. Hurry to get your discounted tickets at EDAC's ArtSpace, 459 Main Street in Placerville. Sincerely, Matt Semonsen Executive Director American River Music, Inc |
