Cheers to Art!

My sister, Barb, found this great place to have fun with family and friends called Cheers to Art!  The first time I went was for our sisters "Girls Night Out in March and it was fun.  It's hard to describe Cheers to Art! but the best I can do is to say it's where you paint a picture [no experience required - really!!], listen to music and buy beer or wine too.  I think their web site describes it much better so check it out.  CHEERS TO ART!  If you live in Cincinnati the studio is in Maderia - you should definitely try it! 

My sisters and I decided to have a FUNdraiser at Cheers to Art to raise money and awareness for MS [Multiple Sclerosis].  The donations would go to our MS Walk team "The Spinning Wheels" and it was a great success.  The FUNdraiser was held on June 21 and there were 41 people in attendance.  We raised $410 for to help find a cure for MS.  It was a fun night and since it was such a success there will be another FUNdraiser at Cheers to Art! in September to raise awareness and money for lung cancer.  [Details to follow soon]

Here are some pictures from the MS Night at Cheers to Art! 


I'm not sure what they were doing, but Malachi is smiling at whatever Dale is saying and Dale is being Dale!  I'm not sure if that's an Uncle Sam or Smokey the Bear imitation. 

My sisters Liz and Pattie getting ready to paint their picture of the sunset.  Thanks to Liz for putting this all together - with the help of Pattie and Barb.

See how this place makes every body smile?
