Art Show 2014 By Patti Adams Did you attend the Art Show and
Artist Reception Friday night November 14th? How about the Saturday
event on November 15th? Many of our members and directors were
there for both days and proclaimed it a rousing success. Nancy
Phillips and Jackie Morgner co-chaired the event. Both artists in
their own right, they enlisted some wonderful artists to display
their work. For starters, Garret Goodwin’s Urban Tree was installed
on Thursday the 13th and will stay in place for a full year or
until purchased. We had stunning glass artists, several outstanding
painters, extraordinary jewelry creators, and even a fabric artist.
Attendees found much of the art to be irresistible and the artists
sold many of their creations, donating 20% of their sales to the
Assembly in addition to their entry fee. The Summer Januaries drew
a small crowd around the stage Friday evening with their harmony,
violin and guitar. Elsewhere in the Assembly neighbors and friends
enjoyed catching up and chatting. Friday’s evening Coco Savvy
brought samples of their unique chocolates that paired well with
the wines being served. Kona Kai prepared hors d’ oeuvres on site,
surrounded by eager patrons.
Saturday, the Membership committee chaired by Pam Fuchs and
Hospitality by Dottie Laub provided refreshments for our guests.
Many thanks to all who helped bring and serve and clean up over the
two days. The Art Show is about friend raising as well as
fundraising. Many people
stopped by who have not been at the Assembly in years, if ever.
Our membership and rental activity are sure to increase due to the
great exposure from the Art Show. The combination of the ticket
sales and art sales netted the Assembly right around $3000.00! If
you didn’t attend either day of the Art Show, we are very
interested to know your thoughts on future events like this. Nancy
and Jackie have worked since last March to make this year’s Art
Show a success. It would have been more successful with more ticket
sales and more attendance. We are counting on you, the member, to
help us with both if we do the Art Show

again. Please share your thoughts with President Susan Hoekenga
or any Board member. And please share your thanks to Nancy Phillips
and Jackie Morgner. They created a lovely weekend of fun and Art at
the Assembly.

POINT LOMA PLAYHOUSE Presents
A Tuna Christmas Written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and
Ed
Howard. Directed by David Sein
Point Loma Playhouse is proud to present its production of A
Tuna Christmas. This hilarious show takes place in Tuna, the third
smallest town in Texas, where the Lions’ Club is too liberal and
Patsy Cline never dies! A mysterious “Christmas Phantom,” who
vandalizes the yard displays, and threatens to throw the contest
into turmoil, disrupts the town’s annual Christmas Yard Display
Contest. The subplots include Stanley Bumiller’s attempts to end
his probation and leave Tuna, Bertha Bumiller trying to hold her
family together at Christmas time, and Joe Bob Lipsey’s struggle to
successfully mount his disaster prone production of A Christmas
Carol. The cast features Andrew Gumm and Greg Henninger, each
portraying eleven characters. A total of 40 quick changes create
these amazing characters for your enjoyment! Friday & Saturday
curtain time is 8 p.m. and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. TICKETS: $18.00 for
adults, $16 for Seniors, Military and Students. Groups of 10 or
more $14.00 each. BOX OFFICE: 619-225-0044 LOCATION: Point Loma

Point Loma Assembly Wants to Give Back
In the New Year, Point Loma Assembly is going to be moving
forward with its Common Cause project, in which we will solicit
proposals by non-profits wishing to use the Assembly hall and one

gathering. Stay tuned for further details.
