We kick off this month’s events on November 5th with the opening reception for a fantastic new exhibit at Lakefront Gallery by JJ Raia, John Stritzinger, Rich Armington and Samuel Vovsi. During the reception, we will hold a special ceremony to recognize our club’s former Vice President, Sheila Geisler. As you may know, Sheila co-led the club for many years with her husband, Carl. Sheila was the driver of many club initiatives, including the founding of Lakefront Gallery. It was her vision to create the Gallery in order to both support the healthcare mission of RWJ Hamilton Hospital and to champion the local arts community. At 5:30 pm, together with Hospital staff, we will dedicate a plaque in Sheila’s honor. I hope that you are able to join us for this special event. In-Person Only on November 5th, 5-7 pm, at Lakefront Gallery, RWJ Hospital Hamilton, 1 Hamilton Health Place, Hamilton, NJ 08690.
