After four years of outstanding service as president of the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild, Karen Brungardt has decided to step down. She is passing the gavel to Jenni Long, the new president.

Karen’s tenure has been one of great achievements. The club membership has doubled, a new website was added, and Karen’s goal of an active outreach program is in place. She expanded the Art Sampler program, which is a hands-on opportunity for aspiring artists to try different art mediums. Karen introduced Art and Wine as a fundraiser for many worthwhile organizations. Many residents have enjoyed an evening of making art while enjoying food, wine, and socializing.

Jenni Long is looking forward to a new challenge as president. She has filled many roles in the Guild, including treasurer and art show chair.
