Plein Air Nashville has been invited, along with The Chestnut Group, to participate in the following event. Hope you can help make it a huge success.

Announcement of a Painting Opportunity -
Tuesday, August 19th - 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. - Centennial Park

"The Mad Hatter Ball is one of Nashville's premiere fundraising events, benefiting The Sexual Assault Center. It takes place on Saturday, September 13th at the Parthenon, with dining, dancing and a silent auction.

This year, something extraordinary is happening. On Tuesday, August 19th -- at the Parthenon -- there is a special event especially for the kids. It's the 1st Annual Mad Hatter Tee Party, where the kids will enjoy tours of the Parthenon, Olympian relay races, games, treats and a tee-shirt to paint.

We have been invited to come and paint too ... the Parthenon, the children or the park. The event will be from 3:30 – 5:00, but you are welcome to start painting earlier if you like. And then, if you would like to donate your painting to the Mad Hatter to be auctioned at the event on September 13th, there will be donor forms available. These events help fund the Sexual Assault Center, the only agency in Middle Tennessee specializing in the support and treatment of survivors of sexual assault. The Center helps more than 700 children and adults annually, and no one is ever turned away for lack of ability to pay."

Please email Jean Gauld-Jaeger (jrgjaeger@aol.com) or call her at 297-9458 to let her know if you plan to paint for this event.

They hope to have coverage that day as they did a couple weeks ago on Channel 4’s show “Better”. And, Purity will have a popsicle truck there passing out their new popsicle, Tea Pops.

Happy Painting!
