Dear Friends, The ACT luncheon is on June 4, 2013, and as some of you know, it will be my last official function

as the executive director of Artists Creating Together. This is a bittersweet moment for me, as I have loved my 10 years here and seen the impact of our programs on those that we serve. So many of our participants have changed me for the better, and my life is definitely much richer because they have touched my life. On a daily basis, I am reminded that what I have received is so much more than I have given. I am so grateful that I was entrusted with the care of this organization for the past decade. And today, I am so excited for the future of ACT. Our very own program director, Katie Brower, will be assuming the helm as the Interim Executive Director. ACT couldnt be in better hands! Her passion and commitment to the mission of Artists Creating Together and to all of our participants is unflagging. Katies vision for the future will be sure to not only continue our current work, but also to help us to soar into the next evolution of our story. Check out a copy of the press release that announces Katies promotion here. As you can see, we are all so confident in the strength of ACT under her leadership. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. While the luncheon on June 4 will be my last official ACT event, expect to see me in the future on the sidelines continuing to support the work of ACT in our community! If you have any questions about this transition or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me at #616-885-5866 or by e-mail at director@artistscreatingtogether.org. Thank you for your commitment to Artists Creating Together today and into the future. Sincerely, Michele Suchovsky
