Welcome New Business A "treasure trove" of history opens up in Wayne It's being called a treasure trove of history, and now it's open in Wayne. This week, officials held a ribbon-cutting for a unique business in Wayne called The

“Then I started buying more maps of Chester County,” Mackey recalled. Over time, he began purchasing old atlases and then developed the Malvern Maps site.

many other items. At the official opening, he even had a map of the map store. The map listed numerous areas of the store such as fine art prints, sea charts, poster rack, botanicals, rare books and lots of maps.

About nine months ago, Mackey said he heard about the closing of the Philadelphia Print Shop and purchased it.

Claire Girton, secretary for the Wayne Business Association, welcomed the Mackey to the town. “We are over the moon and delighted to welcome you to the Wayne Business Association, and you are going to make a great addition. The history in this town is an excellent match for this grand opening, so we wish you many happy years,” said Girton. Except for the ten years he lived in Florida, Mackey is a lifelong resident of the Main Line and has been a commercial real estate development professional for over 35 years.

Philadelphia Print Shop. The business originally opened 38 years ago in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. That store closed last December but was resurrected in August when it was purchased by David Mackey, a resident of nearby Chester County. With the help of long time store employees Quincy Williams and Jane Toczek, who collectively have worked in the store for 50 years, Mackey officially opened up in his new location at 209 West Lancaster Ave. in Wayne.

“While it's possible to do more online these days, to me having a storefront where people can come in and browse - that, to me, is what makes this place special - a place where you can communicate with people who are students or teachers and the general public who are interested in history,” he said. The store in Wayne is twice as big as the former Chestnut Hill location. Mackey described the store as a treasure trove of history that goes beyond just maps. It also includes prints, views, landscapes and

“To me, Wayne is to the Main Line what Chestnut Hill is to Philadelphia,” Mackey said as he held the oversized pair of scissors to cut the ribbon. He cited the walkability, the restaurants, and the community with a deep interest in history as a reason for reopening the store in Radnor. Along with the Philadelphia Print Shop, Mackey has and will continue to operate his online business called Malvern Maps at www.Malvernmaps.com. Malvern Maps has historic maps that mainly focus on the Main Line and Chester County. According to Mackey, he originally got into map collecting about 20 years ago when he stumbled on an old map of Berwyn while at the Devon Horse Show. 6

Radnor Educational Foundation personalized learning, rethinking time and space, and enhanced collaboration and enriched learning experiences.

Technology in RTSD Gets $66,000 Boost with Largest Grant in History of Radnor Educational Foundation The Historic Contribution Impacts Every Student and Faculty Member in Radnor Every student and teacher in Radnor Township School District now has enhanced access to instructional technology thanks to one of the district's longest partners and the generous donations of Radnor families, businesses, and supporters. Radnor Educational Foundation has recently awarded Radnor Township School District the largest grant in its history, giving $66,000 to fund technology access and equity across the district's five schools. REF will support the purchase of monitors and Surface Pro docking stations for all teachers to enhance remote instruction. The large grant was commemorated with a ceremonial check presented by REF president Brian Pugh and REF director Theji Brennan to RTSD administrators on November 18. Made possible through donations to REF from the Radnor community and business members, the grant will fund innovation including flexible and

Garrett Williamson Is Committed to a Future that is Safe and Accepting of Everyone Has Appreciation for a Diverse and Loving Environment Shows Respect for the Dignity and Worth of All Living Things And Supports Education for Each Child

In 1910, a brilliant and prescient woman, Elizabeth Garrett,decided to bequeath her family farm “for the support and maintenance of poor children and deserving women.” These pastoral 240 acres (the last original land preserve in Newtown Square) have hosted thousands of children who run across fields, hike trails, and explore the woods - all while learning about the value of friendship and the land. 110 years later, Elizabeth's endowment is more relevant than ever. Her generosity evolved into Garrett Williamson's awardwinning childcare, school, and camp, which welcome all children to engage in unique educational and recreational programs, and foster loving connections within the GW community. The curriculum covers ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten, and aligns with Pennsylvania's State Early Learning Standards. The standards promote emotional, social, language, reading, math, science, art and imaginative play skills - all with a hands-on approach in small group settings. 8

"On behalf of the district, we sincerely thank REF and all the community members who give generously in support of our schools," said Kenneth E. Batchelor, RTSD superintendent. "The district, our students, and our staff have benefited from our strong partnership with REF for years, and this grant builds greatly on that tradition during a time when support for schools and innovative learning models is especially crucial.” "We are excited to fund a grant which helps teachers and students in the current virtual and hybrid learning environment, now and for years to come,” Brennan said. “The grant will impact every student in the district. We're eager to share our mission to support the educational experience of all Radnor school students, and fund extraordinary initiatives like this.”

“Our community has truly pulled together this school year to adapt and meet the unique needs of our current COVID environment,” said Dr. Scott Hand, RTSD director of technology. “This funding will significantly enhance the seamless hybrid learning experiences our teachers are creating for today's remote instruction, as well as catalyze tomorrow's innovative practices at Radnor.”

Radnor Educational Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization. For more information on REF and its mission, visit their website at www.radnoreducationalfoundation.org.

Elizabeth's vision to support the needy requires the GW team to be both resourceful and serious about their stewardship. Besides caring deeply for the children (the team strives to obtain scholarships for almost half the enrollees) the staff ensures that every child, teacher, employee, and visitor to GW is seen, heard, and valued.

more unified and safe space for everyone, GW teachers read a new book in class each week to celebrate and explore diversity. The first selection in the series was the marvelous All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold. It set the tone for many wonderful conversations and programs this year!

While the pandemic curtailed many programs this year, Garrett Williamson has been assiduous and successful with safety protocols, taking full advantage of the vast amount of outdoor space, and enrollment has returned to almost normal levels again! Additionally, the excellent 4-H program that operates in the Garrett Williamson's Family Barn, built in 1794, has ramped up their programs for all their clubs - from caring for the livestock in the pastures - to zooming with sewing club members who lovingly created Halloween superhero costumes for children in a homeless shelter.

Garrett Williamson is a 501C 3 charitable organization, and exists to create an environment where every child, regardless of their financial situation, has high-quality, lifechanging experiences using the historic property as their canvas for learning. We welcome volunteers, donors, and all interested parties to contact us about the many opportunities to support Elizabeth Garrett's vision, and get involved in Garrett Williamson! Visit www.garrettwilliamson.org, call 610.353.7690, or email marketing@garrettwilliamson.org!

The value of a safe and welcoming childhood environment is well-documented, and Elizabeth Garrett's Quaker precepts continue to support the concepts of peace, tolerance, and diversity. GW's staff have been thrilled to reinforce those beliefs with new inclusive programs for kids like reading Books that C.A.R.E.!

Sadness

There does not have to be a reason for being sad. They just are and that is OK.

You have to be wondering if you are alone. Is something wrong? There must be. This new strange behavior coupled with intense unpredictability causes a parental terror that can be debilitating. Silence is safe. Don't tell anyone what is going on. This is a family problem of such proportions that to reveal the essence of the issue would be socially damning, spawning an onslaught of judgement from friends and family. Something has happened to your child that you are unable to explain. The profound feelings of isolation, loss, despair and confusion can only be found in one special place.

Let the emotions run their course. When they are crying, or yelling, let them get it out of their system. Avoid saying things like “stop crying.” Go to the shed and change the oil in your lawnmower in-stead.

an excerpt from Andrew Mullen’s book, Middle Schooled.

You bought a ticket to this place 10-12 years ago. Don't you remember? It was beautiful, noisy and wrapped in a blue and white striped blanket. You were tired but happy at the time of “purchase.” Still don't remember? My dear guests! I am Mr. Mullen, your host. Welcome to Adolescent Island! Smiles everyone, smiles! Yes, my friends, you are currently and thankfully only temporarily, on a vacation to what is known as Adolescent Island. This is a magical place adorned with an all you can eat buffet for every meal. Some more noteworthy items on the menu are mood swings, anger, crying, yelling, unidentified sadness, and the signature dish of disrespectful behavior finished with a sprinkling of attitude… I hope you enjoy your stay! This past week I have spoken with many distraught middle schoolers. The theme was so consistent. Sadness. The children are confused by the strong adolescent emotions. They are sad and they don't know why. I am suspecting that many of you have seen this with your child, and if you have not, stay tuned. I have good news. This is totally normal. Feeling sad at this age is to be expected, and as a parent, it can be confusing and difficult to deal with. Here are a few tips and reminders for helping you to manage your child's new and powerful feelings:

Don't panic. Your child will be OK. It can be so painful to see your child sad, but stay positive. If your child is sad for what seems to be an unreasonable amount of time, please call your school counselor. There are instances when children need help. Remember these are new and difficult feelings for your child to manage and they are not good at it. It is similar to you trying to ride a Razor Scooter. You are out of control and have no idea what you are doing. Your child from many vantage points will appear to be temporarily insane and this is OK. When you feel like crying, try laughing instead. If you step back, their antics can be very funny. Each morning, if I listen closely as the school buses start to arrive, I can hear someone, somewhere enthusiastically yelling, “Da Bus, Da Bus!” Just another day on Adolescent Island! Andy Mullen

Middle Schooled by Andrew Mullen is an adolescent parenting guide for those who would rather laugh than cry!

Be patient. Don't lose your cool. Remind yourself they are under a lot of stress and confused. They can't help it. Remind them being sad for a short period of time is normal and OK. It is all part of growing up. 10

Health & Wellness Skin Tips To Make Your Eyes Stand Out

Preparing for work or a night out with friends or a partner might have previously meant putting on some makeup, spending a little extra time on your hair and generally a lot of time primping in front of the bathroom mirror. But in the midst of a pandemic, this getting ready routine has gotten a lot easier; for most of us, it means picking out a face mask and heading out the door.

well as injectables and fillers. And while procedures like these may be trendy right now, they're nothing new. “We see patients of all ages and they're coming to us for various reasons,” says Dr. Weng. “For some people, these can help correct facial injuries or traumas but for others, these surgeries are primarily cosmetic. Whatever the reason, these offer our patients the benefit of confidence and improved self-esteem.”

Let Makeup Soak Off

Instead of using wipes to remove your eye makeup - which often require you to pull or tug at your lashes or the skin surrounding your eye - stry letting it soak off. Use a cotton round soaked in makeup remover and press it gently to your eye for 20-30 seconds. If stubborn eye makeup sticks around, use cotton swabs to target these areas.

Sleep Well, Eat Well And Exercise

An overall healthy lifestyle is good for your skin. Make time for sleep and regular exercise, and limit your intake of salty foods and alcohol, two groups that can cause dehydration and puffiness.

Quit Smoking

The toxins in cigarette smoke can speed up skin aging and make it more prone to wrinkles. If you're a smoker, quit. If you're not, avoid secondhand smoke. Main Line Health serves patients at hospitals and health centers throughout the western suburbs of Philadelphia. For more information, visit mainlinehealth.org. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Weng, call 610.527.1436.

But with a mask that covers the majority of your face, you might be starting to focus on some of the little things that you've been ignoring or overlooking - namely, your eyes. Several cosmetic surgeons & dermatologists are reporting increased patient interest in cosmetic procedures like Botox and eyelid lifts. During COVID-19, your eyes have truly become a window to the world - and you want to make sure they look good! According to Catherine Weng, MD, a Main Line Health doctor who is board-certified in both facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology, there are many options for anyone who is interested in making their eyes stand out from above a mask. “There are many surgical and non-surgical options for people who are looking to improve their appearance,” says Dr. Weng, who sees patients at Main Line Health King of Prussia as well as Bryn Mawr Hospital and Main Line Health Newtown Square. “Depending on your health, your skin type and what you're looking for there are many options available that can reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve the appearance of your eyes and the surrounding area.” At her office in King of Prussia, Dr. Weng offers browlifts, facelifts, eyelid surgeries as 14

Radnor News

You may not be ready to commit to surgery just yet, but there are some steps you can take to make your eyes pop while the majority of your face is masked. Dr. Weng offers her advice for maintaining healthy, vibrant skin around the eyes:

Sun Protection

You know how important sun protection is for keeping your skin healthy, yet many people still do not use a broad spectrum sunscreen on a daily basis. Even during winter, your eyes are exposed to the sun. Make sure they're protected by wearing sunscreen on your face or a moisturizer that contains SPF.

Be Gentle

The skin around your eyes is six to 10 times thinner than the skin in other areas of your face. Avoid scratching, rubbing or pulling on the area to prevent wrinkles. Instead, if you're applying a product, use your pinky finger to gently dab and rub it into the area.

Helpful Insurance Tips Car Insurance Deductibles & Coverages: Choosing Well

Car insurance - we all know we need it. But beyond that, many of us still ask ourselves, “What auto insurance should I get?” The key is knowing what deductibles and coverages are and how they affect auto insurance. So without further ado, here's a primer. Put simply, a deductible is the amount that you agree to pay up front when you make an insurance claim, while the insurance company pays the rest up to your coverage limit. When choosing your deductible, think about how much you're willing to pay out of pocket if you need to make a claim. Weigh that against the fact that higher deductibles generally mean lower premiums. It really comes down to what makes you the most comfortable. Auto insurance policies generally consist of several kinds of coverages. Because insurance laws vary from state to state, the following information is here to give you a broad overview of typical coverages, and it isn't a statement of contract.

Auto Liability

Auto liability coverage pays for the damage if you're legally responsible for injuring someone, or for damaging another vehicle (or other property) in an auto crash. Auto liability coverage falls into two categories: Bodily injury liability: medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other special damages. Property damage liability: damaged property, and may include loss of use. Liability coverage also pays legal defense and court costs. State laws usually dictate the minimum amounts of insurance required, but higher amounts are available.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

This coverage pays your (or another covered driver's) reasonable and necessary medical expenses for treatment caused by an auto crash. It may also pay for: Rehabilitation Lost earnings Replacement of services (e.g., child care if a parent is disabled) Funeral expenses Coverage varies by state and specific policy. 16

Radnor News

EVERGREEN

Medical Payments

This coverage is available in many states. It pays for necessary medical and funeral expenses for those covered when the expenses are caused by an auto crash. The coverage varies by state and specific policy.

Collision

High versus low deductibles and a breakdown on the types of auto insurance coverage.

Willows Preserve

This coverage helps pay for loss or damage from a crash to a covered vehicle caused by: Collision with another vehicle Collision with an object A vehicle rollover A deductible is required.

Comprehensive

This coverage helps pay for loss of or damage to an insured, covered vehicle that is not caused by a collision or vehicle rollover. Examples of this type of damage or loss include: Fire Wind Hail Flood Vandalism Theft Hitting an animal A deductible may apply.

Underinsured Motorist

This coverage pays for damages if you or another covered person injured in an auto crash caused by another driver who is considered to be underinsured as defined by the policy. It varies by state and depends upon policy provisions.

Rental Reimbursement

This coverage pays for rental expenses if your car is disabled due to a covered loss. Daily allowances or limits vary by state or policy provisions.

Emergency Road Service

This coverage pays for having your auto towed due to a breakdown. Towing limits vary by state or policy provisions.

How Much Car Insurance Do You Need?

Unfortunately, there's no black and white answer. It depends a lot on what coverages you need and the amount of deductible you feel comfortable with. Contact a State Farm agent® today to find out what's right for you.

Now that the maples, oaks and other deciduous trees have shed their leaves and adopted a more austere look for the winter months, it is up to the evergreens to provide us with our recommended daily dose of greenery. Many of us are lucky to have evergreens growing in our own yards or somewhere in the neighborhood where we can enjoy them. For those who don’t, there are many wooded parks nearby where evergreens abound. A walk among the evergreens is bound to lift anyone’s spirits, no matter how cold or gray the weather may be. Lucky for us, there are several species of evergreen tree growing at the Willows. They come in various shades of green and each has its own special charms. One of the most familiar evergreens you can find at the Willows is the Norway spruce. Although not native to North America (it hails from Europe), it has made a home for itself here as a windbreak and ornamental tree. To my mind, it is the friendliest evergreen tree. The boughs of this large, pyramidal tree resemble outstretched, uplifted arms, as if the tree were happy to see you and ready to embrace you. In season, cigarshaped cones hang downward from the tips of the tree’s branches. Norway spruces are often used as Christmas trees in spacious outdoor settings – think Rockefeller Center. If you ask a child to draw a Christmas tree, what you are likely to get is a tree that looks like a Norway spruce. Another evergreen tree that grows at the Willows is the Eastern white pine. It is easily recognized by its long, soft needles that grow in bundles (or “fascicles”) of five. Those needles can be steeped in hot water to make a tea that is rich in Vitamins A and C. The Eastern white pine is the tallest conifer in the northeast, reaching heights exceeding 100 feet. In colonial times, the trunks of Eastern white pines were used to make ship masts. The branches of Eastern white pines grow in whorls, like the spokes of a wagon wheel emanating from the trunk. You can tell an Eastern white pine’s age by counting the rows of whorled branches – one row for each year. The erect, spring shoots of this tree are called “candles.” The scales of its cones are often iced with a sticky, white sap. If there were a single tree at the Willows most deserving of our respect, that tree would be the Canadian (or Eastern) hemlock. It is, after all, the official “state tree” of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The native Canadian hemlock is a medium to large tree with soft, feathery evergreen foliage. Its needles are flat and on the underside are two white parallel lines that run the length of the needle. The Canadian hemlock has small, round-to-ovoid cones that are about the size of a grape. Do not be charmed (indeed, be chagrined) if you see what looks like snow on the twigs of this hemlock, at the base of the needles, even in the warmer months. This is the wooly adelgid, a serious insect pest that feeds on the tree’s sap, truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. During the holiday season, perhaps this year more than most, it is important to celebrate what we know to be good in our world. Family. Friends. Community. And the beauty and comfort of nature. Comfort and joy. Written by Mary Coe

Local Business Gem Gorgeous Fish, with a Side of Great Service

HILL'S QUALITY SEAFOOD For 45 years, people have trusted Hill's in Newtown Square to provide the freshest seafood for their families. In 2020, the pandemic made the market an even more critical part of many patrons' lives. The Hill's team has had such a long relationship with the community, shoppers trusted them to pick out perfect fish, crab cakes, and produce - and deliver it curbside to their cars. That's a big change for clients who normally enjoy looking over the day's fresh catch, and chatting with the friendly faces behind the counter. As with everything else, COVID-19 did have an impact on Hill's business. With restaurants being closed or restricted, many people turned to cooking meals at home. But while we miss going out for seared ahiahi, blackened catfish, or lemony char with a nice Chardonnay, cooking fish in your own kitchen can be intimidating. Hill's is here to tell you - You Can Do This! Preparing greattasting seafood is easy, and turns dinner at home into a special occasion during these difficult times. Just ask for help in-store and the team will be delighted to give you solid

advice and a recipe to try at home. Brendan McCarthy, the Manager at Hill's in Newtown Square, elaborated about how his colleagues go the extra mile: “We're a fixture in this community for a reason. There are a lot of good, nice people who work here, and we're not salesy, we're helpful. We pride ourselves in getting our customers what they want consistently. I especially appreciate many of our older patrons. They have their routines (some love a certain type of fish every Friday) and they trust us to help them get the perfect meal, week in and week out. Many of our customers have been shopping at Hill's for decades 20/30/40 years! That's loyalty.” Even when you're craving something delicious but you're exhausted, don't have the time, or you just hate to cook - they got you. Homemade salads, cooked jumbo shrimp, crab claws, soups and more are all ready-to-eat options. Then when you do feel up to preparing something easy and delicious, try placing a beautiful piece of Norwegian Salmon on aluminum foil (with a baking sheet under it). Season it with oil, salt, pepper, lemon, and garlic - and pop it into a 375° oven for 18 minutes. Perhaps add a homemade jumbo lump crab cake alongside, and you have a luscious, fast meal that feels like a night out at your favorite restaurant! You can't miss Hill's location in Newtown Square. It's the iconic former diner on West Chester Pike. Being part of the township's history has made Hill's a reassuring sight during difficult times. They feel their connection to the community, and donate to multiple local charities.

The team at Hill's realizes knowing what to order can be a challenge, and they're there to help. You may want to try a new option every visit, or find a favorite food. And if you do, they'll remember you. Brendan recently received a call from a woman whose Mother had passed away. The bereaved daughter wanted to order the same seafood for the memorial reception that her Mother had always loved. After a few questions, he knew just who her Mother was, and her regular order - cherrystone clams. Sometimes the little things mean the most.

Etiquette on the Green

Tips from the Golf Tour of Greater Philadelphia

The game of Golf boomed in 2020! Thousands of players were lured to this noncontact, healthy outdoor sport during the pandemic. According to the National Golf Foundation and Golf Datatech, roughly 10 million more rounds were played in August of 2020 than in August of 2019. And several million of those rounds were played by children. As many players know, golf has been around for centuries, and has a lot of written and unwritten rules. With the huge influx of golfers this year, it's easy to understand why more mistakes happened on the links. Of course, most people know the basics: be at least 20 minutes early for your tee time, keep up with the pace of play (no dawdling courses are crowded), and always silence your phone. But there are other, more nuanced rules of etiquette - and the Golf Tour of Greater Philadelphia (www.golftourphilly.org) is here to help. Observing these tips should keep everyone happy once you make it to the green. (That's the relatively circular, perfectly trimmed grassy area where you putt the ball in the hole.)

Mark Your Ball

Keep a coin in your pocket, and if your ball is NOT furthest from the hole, carefully replace your ball with the coin. Then when it's your turn, swap the coin with your ball, and sink that putt!

Fix Your Divots

Use a little divot tool or a golf tee to repair any damage that your ball may have caused when it landed on the green.

Never Cross Another Player's Line Of Sight

This can be tricky because you are relatively close to your crew on the green. But be careful to allow the person putting to have a clear view of the hole. Not only should you stay behind the golfer who is putting, your shadow should never touch the player's line of sight either! Literally, never “throw shade.” Ha! As we all know, to err is human, and to forgive, divine. Even seasoned Golf Tour members sometimes commit protocol faux pas. And sometimes, they play perfect golf. For example, in 2019 three of our players had holes-in-one during competitive play (one at Hickory Valley Golf Club, one at Downingtown Country Club, and one at Seaview Golf Club). One of our goals for 2021 is to break that record. Another goal is to continue growing our membership, and we were delighted to welcome new players at our recent open house events. There will be at least one more open house in early Spring 2021 just before our 2021 season starts in earnest. If you are considering joining a league in 2021, but don't know your handicap, GTGP has you covered! All members get their scores posted for them on the US Golf Association (USGA) Tournament Management system, and after your third game, it automatically generates your handicap. We not only track your scores online for you, we have a “Park and Play” registration and payment system which has been very helpful during the pandemic. Members can skip the pro shop and head straight to the practice area and the first tee. Park your car and go play! Golf Tour Philly guarantees your reserved tee times, most during prime Saturday morning slots, and offers various levels of competition: Weekly 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners (“low nets” get credits towards future rounds)

Radnor News

A season-long points race, and… A 2-round championship in September It's all in good fun, and Golf Tour Philly also believes in giving back, so funds are always set aside for an admirable charity: SuperKids of Montgomery County, a nonprofit which supports abused, neglected, and abandoned children. We hope you will join us in the new year. New players will be welcomed throughout the season, and a Golf Tour Philly representative will always be there to welcome you and introduce you to your partners for the day. Of course, we always lookth forward to getting to know you at the “19 hole.” Further information is available on the website www.golftourphilly.org, by emailing TonyMcCarthy@golftourphilly.org or calling 484.753.4914. Happy Holidays, and see you on the links! *The Golf Tour of Greater Philadelphia (GTGP) is a locally-operated golf league for amateur golfers of all abilities. Our classification as a non-profit keeps costs down, and our club organization ensures all members have input in club operations. The result is competitive golf in a collegial atmosphere at a great price! GTGP is also an associate club of the Golf Association of Philadelphia. Members are eligible to play in GAP Member Play Days at private clubs in the area.

Art & Creativity COVID and Creativity: STRANGE BEDFELLOWS By Laurie Lamont Murray of DVAL What do you get when you lock 210 talented artists in their studios for months of quarantine? Some pretty amazing artwork, we're guessing! And then, if you ask a juror to select the 40 best paintings they've done, that's a show you'll want to see! The artists we're talking about belong to the Delaware Valley Art League, a wonderful organization which ordinarily meets once a month to socialize, plan our upcoming events and participate in workshops by renowned artists. Members also learn from each other by exchanging information and ideas to develop new techniques and hone their marketing skills. The Delaware Valley Art League is proud to support the greater Philadelphia region with scholarships for promising students. We also partner with programs which feed the hungry, help pay bills for people in need, etc. by donating a portion of our sales to designated organizations. DVAL artists show their work at several venues throughout the year, ranging from galleries to hospitals to restaurants, art centers and plein air locations. Participating artists must pass an Internal Review to ensure that their work meets

DVAL's high standards of professionalism. Then, for each show they enter, their work is juried by a noted, independent professional. Because most venues are closed or access is very limited, this year we're trying something new: An online show… just in time for the holidays! You can expect to see our very best in oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, pastels, pencil and collage. There will be land and seascapes, still life, figurative and abstract work, snowy scenes to celebrate Winter and florals to chase it away. Art shows in a gallery setting are undeniably fun. But there are also advantages to being able to study a painting at your leisure, come back to it, view the image in whatever setting you might choose. And our usual accommodations will apply to this online show: DVAL artists can arrange a studio visit, delivery, gift wrap, shipping. So pour yourself a beverage of choice, and enjoy an hors d'oeuvre or two while you visit our Holiday Show, scheduled for early December. You might want to join our mailing list to be notified before the Holiday Show goes live. If so, contact us at info@DVAL.com. And visit our website to see our member gallery and other news. Meanwhile, here are artworks by two very different, very talented members: Ginny Conover, "Here and There"

Don Leong is a well-known watercolorist and a longstanding Board member of DVAL. His beautiful, soft paintings often feature landscapes or street scenes, painted either locally or during his travels. In "Showers Forecasted" we see his masterful use of light and shadow, combined with textural variations to convey Mother Nature's ever-changing moods. As an interesting contrast, look at Ginny Conover's mixed media piece entitled "Here and There". Her color palette is not unlike the one chosen by Don Leong, and arguably the two could hang in the same room! Ginny's abstracts are recognized for her adventurous use of line with a wide range of materials, resulting in art that is always full of surprises and interest.
