I wanted to say thank you to the West End Business Improvement Assocation, and especially to Lyn Hellyar, Executive Director, for awarding me with the President’s Choice Award for 2011.  The exciting thing about this award, which is a result of my participation in the West End Art Krall, is that it means the story I illustrated and showed as part of the Krall, ‘Lucy’s Tree,’ will be published and distributed by the West End B.I.A.  Awesome and ambitious Lyn has spear headed this project, and thanks to her we hope to see ‘Lucy’s Tree’ published by the end of August.  Thank you so much for this award- I could not have asked for better fortune.  Helen Davidson, the author of Lucy’s Tree, and I are both so excited to see this book become real.  So so grateful,

Roz
