Happy New Year!!

It has been a whirlwind holiday season for all of us at the Ashtabula Arts Center, and I'm sure many of you have experienced the same.

NOW'S the time to relax and enjoy some of those activities that will simply entertain you, open you up to a new experience and/or get you involved in meeting new people or sharing activities with old friends. The Arts Center has numerous classes and workshops beginning mid-January - please check them out in this issue. "Noises Off" is our opening GB Community Theatre Production - it's hysterical!! In February, just in time for Valentine's Day celebrations, we will be producing the dinner theater show "My Way."

I know it's very tempting to stay at home and cocoon during the dark, cold winter months, but I know I always feel more energetic and refreshed after participating in an activity which clears my mind of the everyday clutter, etc. Don't necessarily want to enroll in a weekly activity? - No problem, we always need volunteers to help out with many of our offerings. You can be an usher, work backstage, sell concessions, help with kids' school programs, and/or serve a dinner. There are numerous ways to get involved. Just let us know your interests, and we'll be glad to work with you.

The Arts Center is extremely grateful to all of you who are involved in your many, many ways. We consider ourselves to be one big extended family. We hope all of you would like to join us. So this winter - please come join in the activity and warmth generated by the many happy individuals who make up our Arts Center family!
