Santa Rosa - Roses of Resilience, Day 3

Yesterday, we earned $3515 for the North Bay Fire Relief fund. I deposited that money a little while ago, and the email response is below. We are making a difference. Thank you, all of you, for your generosity and help with this project. Thus far, we have raised a total of $11,310. And, I am committed to painting 120 roses so far. I love painting, and your purchases of roses will keep me busy for quite a while. Maybe we should shoot for 365, so that I can paint a rose a day for a year. That would earn over $34,000. 

Kassia from Gallery 1870, which has sold my art for years, called yesterday and asked if she could post information about Roses of Resilience on their website. I was thrilled. Please take a look at what she wrote. Thank you, Kassia, for helping us raise money.
