Created by Maebell, in AFTA Teaching Artist Carol Siegel’s AFTA workshops at Alexandria Adult Day Services Center, responding to the sculptures of Lolo Sarnoff. FROM THE GALA CHAIRS Dear Friends, It is with delight that we join you this evening to celebrate the richness the arts bring to all our lives—but especially to older adults with challenging health issues. We salute our dear departed friend, Lolo Sarnoff, who was a pioneer in creative aging and whose indomitable spirit set Arts for the Aging on a path as a leader in this field. She knew intuitively what research is now proving—being involved in the arts is stimulating, rewarding, and “good medicine.” We so appreciate the positive impact AFTA has in our community because it shares the healing power of the arts with vulnerable seniors and their caregivers. We are honored to be part of AFTA’s 27th Annual Gala and are gratified to know that generous supporters like you are helping sustain the life-changing arts programs AFTA provides throughout the metropolitan Washington community. Thank you, Olga and Bob Ryan FROM THE AFTA BOARD CHAIR On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire AFTA family, welcome to tonight’s Gala celebration, Creating New Horizons. This year marks AFTA’s 27th Annual Gala, and I am happy to report that AFTA is moving forward to carry out the mission our founder, Lolo Sarnoff, entrusted to AFTA, which provides life-enhancing and innovative experiences for older adults through the arts. Our professional teaching artists engage frail and vulnerable seniors in workshops through a wide variety of arts, encourage healthy aging, and share the joy that comes from artistic expression, all while respecting the dignity of older adults, especially those with physical or cognitive impairments. Thank you for sharing this evening with the AFTA family and for your support of this dynamic and pioneering program. I am especially grateful to Gala Chairs Olga and Bob Ryan, the Host Committee, my fellow AFTA Board Members, AFTA’s Director & CEO Janine Tursini, and our staff, teaching artists, and dedicated supporters and volunteers. Congratulations to Trish and George Vradenburg, the recipients of the Lolo Sarnoff Founders Award, for their humanitarianism and philanthropy, as well as their lifelong dedication to the arts. I hope you have a wonderful The NEA is committed to evening, and thank you again for “advancing learning, fueling empowering AFTA to fulfill its creativity, and celebrating the mission, as AFTA brings its talents arts in cities and towns across to assist with the challenges of the United States.
