CHAMBER BRIEFS
|
Margaret Howell is our “Chamber Volunteer of the Month” for July.
Margaret is very special to the Chamber staff! (We all hope to be just like her when we grow up!) She has been a Chamber volunteer since 1994. She moved to Kayenta in 1993 from Pasadena, California. In a previous life (WWII), she worked at Douglas Aircraft as a riveter, “Rosie the Riveter”. She says that that is her only claim to fame, but we know better! Margaret has been active in the Celebrity Concert Guild for ten years and she provided the inspiration and recipe for the great chocolate treat that is available to purchase at every Celebrity Concert intermission. Margaret’s hobbies are cooking, reading, golfing, playing bridge, and (in the opinion of the Chamber staff) making the world a better place! We love you Margaret!!

The Tony Award-Winning Utah Shakespearean Festival began its 2007 season on June 21st with Twelfth Night.
“A single gypsy violin player enters the stage area. He plays a searingly beautiful and melancholic tune that tears at our hearts and sets the tone for this Twelfth Night, set in the Balkans.” So begins director B. J. Jones’s vision for the opening of one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies this summer at the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Then, suddenly, the stage is filled with merchants, seamen, pirate warriors, and gypsies. It’s a splash of color and a cry of joyous celebration! Twelfth Night runs from June 21 to September 1, 2007.

Max Bunnell - Retrospective of an Artful Life Now through August 25 Sears Museum Gallery, Dixie State College Dolores Dore' Eccles Fine Arts Center
Max Bunnell, is an accomplished water and oil painter and excellent sketch draftsman, but he is much more than that. Max has been a beloved teacher for 51 years, sharing his talents with eager students, many of whom have become renowned artists themselves. Many times, Max anonymously provided funds to help students go on art trips, buy art supplies, and to continue their education. He has been the instrumental force in Moapa Valley in bringing the arts to that community and building a prestigious art collection there. The DSC Sears Invitational Show and Sale began because Max had created one of the most successful shows in the region; but, most of all his kind and generous persona is reflected in the content of his artwork and it is that same artful spirit that we honor in him. The exhibit features a number of his water and oil paintings, along with various sketches. The Sears Museum Gallery will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-through-Thursday. Admission is free to the public. For more informstion, call: 435-652-7905
