I recently spent some time redesigning the appearance of the sketchingspirit blog and website link. Today the blog is three years old and I thought the anniversary of my first post was a good day to reveal the redesign. Thanks for following my progress and checking out my artwork.

Swinging At AIDS Poster

Calling all golfers!! The United Methodist Churches of the Grand Valley, along with the Center for the Church and Global AIDS, invite you to be a part of “Swinging At AIDS”, a charity Golf Tournament and Silent Auction.

The Tournament will take place at the Redlands Mesa Golf Course on Friday, May 14, 2010 beginning at 8:00 AM. Registration fees are $135.00 for a single player and $500.00 for a team of four. This is a Best-Ball Tournament so people with varied abilities can play. There will be a scattered shotgun start.

Join in the fun! There will be an opportunity at one of the holes to win a brand new car for a hole in one. Mulligans will be available for those needing a little extra help.

This is a wonderful way for the Grand Valley to partner together to help the victims of AIDS in Kenya, as well as within our own community. This event will help send supplies and equipment to the Maua Hospital, one of the poorest in Kenya. Funds will also go to help those with HIV/AIDS through the Western Colorado AIDS Project in our own community. To help out or register click here.
