News Update - February 1, 2009
High time for some updates!
Wow, where has the time gone? It's February already!
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back at this website. There have been some changes in my life over the past couple of months, and that has affected my work with Arts Cochrane.
Without going into details, my husband has some health concerns. Since at this stage we don't know how much longer he will be able to work, and we do need an income coming in, I have had to change my focus to getting my business end of things going. That was always part of my plan - but it has certainly moved to front of the line faster than I had planned.
That has also meant that I could no longer put the time and energy I had been into Arts Cochrane. I informed the steering committee of that in December and when we met in January I asked that someone else take over as the head of Arts Cochrane.
Those who have been following the columns in the Eagle will know that Maxine Herbert is now our new head of Arts Cochrane - and I am delighted. She is well acquainted with the arts world and is a real go-getter kind of lady.
I am also very pleased to see the way the steering committee has stepped forward to move ahead with the Arts Cochrane goals. You will be seeing more news about that in the coming weeks.
So even though my role will be considerably less in the next while as my husband and I deal with his health issues and as I work on my business, I am so glad that Arts Cochrane is alive and well and continuing to move ahead.
Wishing you all a happy and creative new year,
Evelyn Grace Marinoski,
Arts Cochrane
