A word from the Antiques in the Heart of Aiken 2012 Co-Chairs:
The Aiken Center for the Arts has enjoyed another very successful fundraising event, Antiques in the Heart of Aiken Show and Sale. The success of this year’s show is directly related to the more than 150 community volunteers who participated on 25 committees and to the quality antique dealers who participated in the show, many of whom have been with us for all thirteen years. Kristin Brown and her staff at Aiken Center for the Arts, the Center’s Board, the local businesses, sponsors and those in the community who attended the event also contributed immensely to its success.
A special thank you goes to Barbara Sue Brodie, Becky Robbins and Lisa Castles for their vision and determination in establishing this Aiken tradition thirteen years ago.
Thank you so very much to everyone who gives back to this community and especially to those who support the Antiques In the Heart of Aiken Show and Sale for the benefit of the Aiken Center for the Arts.
Marcia Quinn and Sandra Terry
Co-Chairs AIHA 2012
Proceeds from this event benefit the Aiken Center for the Arts (ACA), which has promoted arts education and awareness since 1972. |
