Long-time Board Member and Exhibition Coordinator Bill DeMott suffered a heart attack on Saturday, February 22 and was rushed to St. Joe's Hospital in Syracuse for bypass surgery and recovery. Bill spent a week at St.Joe's and is now home, resting, and feeling pretty good! Bill said that he never had a doubt that all would be well (although others worried plenty for him!).
Unfortunately, Bill and his family do not have health insurance, so they're facing some large hospital and surgery bills. Michael Flanagan, Director of Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, contacted the AAO with a suggestion that we work together to set up a benefit fot Bill and his family in an effort to help defray some of the financial burden they're now facing. Dr. Michael Nupuf has jumped in to help by securing a venue in which to hold this fundraiser and provide some prizes for a raffle.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
You can donate a piece of artwork for the auction, create or solicit a gift basket of goods and/or services to raffle, sell advance dinner and raffle tickets (coming soon), or work the event! We'll need people to sell tickets at the door, clear tables after people eat, move art during the auction, hang posters around town, and hand out postcards for the event to all of their friends, and of course plenty of people to come spend money! Those who would like to help can contact Laurie Kester, AAO President, for more details: (314) 344-6599.
Checks for tickets or donations can be made payable to: Bill DeMott Benefit
