The Busy Weekend!

My apologies to you who are actually following our V.OM.A. Adventures for such a lull in blogs. We got together on Sunday morning for a fabulous Board Meeting where we not only went over the monthly financials and planning but we also really got our to do list together for our Benefit V.O.M.A. Dawning!

We got all our needs lists together and divided up the tasks and to work we go! We have two wonderful friends, Wes and Brianne who have volunteered their time to us and are taking care of a major portion of the advertising. TK is gathering artists for the Silent Auction as well as painting his own pieces for the event. Adam is getting our tickets and fliers printed and Janet and Mary Jo are putting a group of wonderful ladies to call for sponsorship and donations. And of course we wouldn't be able to have this event with out Ace's own Gary Matolyak hosting us at his wonderful venue.

So thank you all for your support and once again here is the event information for you all!

About V.O.M.A: The Venue of Merging Arts or (V.O.M.A) is a non-profit arts organization in Johnstown, Pa. The non-profits building (a church) was originally constructed as St. Mary's Syrian (Lebanese Christian) Orthodox Church in 1911, and in 1971 was taken over by a congregation splitting off from St. Petka's Serbian Orthodox Church in Woodvale. The church was renamed St. George's Serbian Orthodox Church in 1977. No longer home to an active parish, the church building is now VOMA: The Venue of Merging Arts, whose mission "is to rescue a historically significant former church building by transforming it into a unique venue in which various forms of artistic expression can merge together to promote, educate, entertain, and involve the community in the arts."
