To the members of the South Simcoe Arts Council
 
Dear Friends,
 
2017 has been a very good year at the South Simcoe Arts Council. We have run many enjoyable programmes this year including:
*member-led workshops for children, youth and adults
*Arts on Main
*Music Festival
*Battle of the Brushes
*Artisan Markets
*Arts in our Community and Gift Shop exhibits
 
The Gift Shop is successfully running its new point of sale system allowing debit, credit and cash and has seen an increase in customer traffic by 25%!
 
We've increased the number of service providers and a core team of dedicated event and Gift Shop volunteers has blossomed and grown.
 
In my seven months with the SSAC, it has very much been my privilege to meet you, chat with you, get to know you, work alongside you, learn from you and provide services for you.
 
On behalf of myself and the SSAC Board of Directors, may you enjoy very merry holidays and the happiest of New Years!
 
Warmly,
 
Len MacLeod
Executive Director
