Our turnover board meeting was held at Barbara Nelson's home in San Jose June 18th.  Tony officially handed over the gavel to our incoming President, Louise Persson after a brief business meeting.  Much thanks to our continuing and out going board members for their dedication and hard work keeping LLAA running smoothly.  We would also like to thank Kelsey Rieger the San Jose Museum of Art Manager of K-12 curriculum and look forward to working with her this coming year.
