Thank you to all our participants, sponsors and the wonderful TBT staff who made the Cabaret Scholarship Show a roaring success. We enjoyed a sell-out crowd with a lovely seated dinner served by La Fiesta and a very entertaining show with Master of Ceremonies and Song, Brian Barrett, accompanied by Miriam Wallace. The Scholarship Committee was pleased to award scholarship to aid area students in pursuit of their higher education in the arts. The show netted over $10,800 with scholarships going to the following deserving graduates: Hannah Terral, Bailee Barrett, Sydney Hewitt, Aurora Patton and Leslie (Raven) Ridings. Additionally a $1,000 gift was given to the TBT for their contribution to the success of the event. Thank you again, to all who made this possible. -Janet Jackson, Scholarship Chair

A picture by impressionist Henri Matisse hung upside down in New York’s Museum of Modern Art for 47 days in 1961 before anyone noticed. In coverage of the blunder, the New York Times ran part of its headline upside down. (Source: artnet.com) Recently, the letter “T” blew off our building sign. Until repairs are made, the sign identifies us as the BOSQUE ARS CENTER. I wonder if anyone noticed the missing letter. Or found it humorous when they read it phonetically? Perhaps the lesson is that we don’t always notice if something is amiss. Life is busy and messy at times. Who hasn’t missed recognizing a friend on their birthday or special occasion? “How did I miss that date?” Children grow up before our eyes, but graduations catch us by surprise. Our parents age, but we miss the clues that they need extra help for daily living. Sometimes the failure to notice is rather harmless and other times, it is devastating - resulting in hurt feelings, missed opportunities, and regrets. Enjoy the summer and don’t forget Father’s Day on June 17. That would be worse than hanging a Matisse upside down.

It’s summer!! Come visit the gift shop after you have dropped your children or grandchildren off for one of the many summer

camps that are offered here at the BAC. We have some great family games, just fun stuff for the kids, picnic items, and small gifts that the children might be able to buy their dads for Father’s Day. We always have beautiful pottery, paintings, and cards created by our wonderful artisans. Remember, all members get a 10% discount. -KH

This month we will feature two more of our authors coming November 9-10 for Books on the Bosque. Michelle Staubach Grimes (and, yes, she is the daughter of the famous Roger Staubach) has two books that our young readers will enjoy. Her first, Where Is Pidge, along with her second just released book, Pidge Takes the Stage, center around Pidge, the middle child of seven siblings.

Books on the Bosque

Michelle is married to John Grimes and began journaling years ago when she decided to leave the corporate world and stay at home with their three children. She then began taking classes at SMU in their creative writing program and the rest is history. Ann Weisgarber is the author of three historical novels. Adults will enjoy her review of The Personal History of Rachel DuPree set in the South Dakota Badlands in 1917. It was the winner of the Stephen Turner Award as well as the Langum Prize for Historical Fiction and is currently being made into a major motion picture, starring Viola Davis. Her newest, The Glovemaker, will be published later this year and is set in Utah in the winter of 1888. Ann currently resides in Galveston, Texas, with her husband, Rob.

This fall books from all of our authors participating in Books on the Bosque will be available in our gift shop for advance purchase. Authors will be available the day of the event to personalize your books. -SD •Note: Our Books on the Bosque logo was created by the talented young artist, Sydney

Hewitt, multiple winner in Art Council’s High School Art Show and recipient of BAC & Art Council college scholarships.•

role?A: Kim Patrick serves as Event Coordinator. She is present to supervise the facility during a scheduled event. She helps an event run smoothly by being available to answer questions that might arise or han-dling building emergencies. Kim is always helpful, but it is not her job to assist in setting up for an event or cleaning up afterwards. If you visit the BAC on Saturdays, you will most likely see Kim at the wel-come desk. -VR

Tin Building Theatre hosted “A One-Act Afternoon” on Mother’s Day, May 13, comprised of plays presented by the drama departments of Cranfills Gap, Clifton, and Meridian High Schools. A large audience enjoyed Hecuba, presented by Cranfills Gap, Cinderella, Cinderella… by Meridian, and The Last Pandemonium by Clifton. Many in attendance expressed a desire that it become an annual event. TBT will be involved in this year’s annual July 4th BAC Patriotic Program. Plans are for two or three comedy sketches with tryouts scheduled for Thursday, June 7, at 7 p.m. Follow TBT’s Facebook page for updates or call (254) 675-2278. -BD
