Re:      Our participation in the Celebration of the 125th year of Lee County  

Dear Portrait and Figure Artist,  

"As the chair of the exhibit committee, I am happy to confirm our first venue and dates.

It is December 3, 2012 through January 11, 2013 at the commissioner's office in Fort Myers.

The theme for this exhibit is the Celebration of the 125th year of Lee County.

We will provide paintings, sketches and other forms of art consistent with this theme.

Some examples would be portraits of early residents, especially the founders and entrepreneurs

and their wives, such as Edison and Ford.   I will do some research for you and make a list of possibilities.

If you know what you would like to do or already have done, please let me know and I will coordinate a

list for continuity and compatibility.  Betsy"
