Sept 10 2012, 11am the Holly Branch members will be meeting at the Olive Garden in Dover, DE.   Please feel free to bring a Guest/Friend.
This Sept meeting will be discussing the upcoming Juried Art Exhibit in the beginning of December 2012.
We encourage each member to enter their artwork. 2D and 3D art will be on display.  Literary works accepted as well.
If you are needing to meet the requirements of the National League of American Pen Women, by having accepted work in 3 Juried shows,  please consider this exhibit in December 2012.  You will be one step closer to fulfilling that part of the requirement, of becoming a member of the NLAPW.
To check out membership information, please go to our National Headquarters website: www.NLAPW.org.

We look forward to our next upcoming event in March 2013, also.
A LIVE AUCTION Scholarship Fundraiser .  
We hope to raise $5000.00 to give to as many gifted and talented young people as possible from Kent and Sussex counties who enter into this Art Exhibit in April 2013 there will be an Art Exhibit displaying the works of these gifted Scholarship Winners.

Please come and support the local artistic young people.  Bring your smiles, encouragement and support and of course, do some bidding with a purpose.   Til next time.  Thanks for supporting the Arts in Delaware.  Joyce, Holly Branch President   If you have any questions about the NLAPW, Holly Branch, please email us.  NLAPW.

Continuing the Next Fourty Years

Welcome to all visitors, Holly Branch members and American Pen Women.

We are excited to plan for the next fourty years, after celebrating our 40th Anniversary in the spring of 2012.
