Viewpoints from Far and Wide

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Viewpoints Artist Reception on Saturday! We had a great time and hope you did, too! We had a packed house and lots of happy, smiling faces. Just take a look at some of the pictures of the night, courtesy of Sharyn Sakimoto (an a couple by Jennifer!):

Just look at all the people!
