On June 9, Art Reach of Mid Michigan had a farewell party for two unique individuals at Art Reach on Broadway. Many members attended to say goodbye to these wonderful people.

Linda Ferreira is moving to be near her grand children, Ben and Sophie in Beaverton, OR. As president from 2008-2010 she displayed strong leadership in expanding the capabilities of the organization by making it possible to move to new quarters on Broadway. She was a docent in the Art Reach Picture Program, and worked on the Education Committee.

Beaverton is noted as the #1 "dog friendly city" (her dog Juju, a standard brown poodle will appreciate that); #1 bicycle city, and has twelve vegan restaurants.

Heather Lynn Lipe is a CMU graduate who has worked for Art Reach for two years as a computer designer for the many programs, newsletters, and website so important to communicating with the community. She, her husband Jason and son Sebastian are moving to Indiana, Pennsylvania.
