We have some very exciting plans that will make this year very fruitful as well as remind us why Chai first started in 1990 and what we have achieved since. Chai Art Workshop Calendar 2009 To celebrate Chanukah this year and to help raise much needed funds for Chai Cancer Care’s vital services their Art Workshop have created a beautiful and inspirational calendar showcasing their work. Chai runs a weekly Art Workshop for its clients. It is extremely popular with some very talented artists on board. People of all different artistic levels attend and go on to develop incredible skills. We are pleased to say that the calendar is selling out fast, with two of the paintings being commissioned as a result. Linda Sharpe, a volunteer who runs the workshop commented: “I am so delighted to see our clients’ amazing talent in print and proving so popular. We all gain so much from this workshop and are delighted to be able to raise funds for Chai from our work. We couldn’t have done this without the generosity of Tony Quill Photography & Mike Plosker of Printers Inc. & Design Ltd.”. To purchase a calendar please call on 020 8202 2211.
