Ali continues to be an our event leader for the CACR Midsummer Arts Dream\/Shades of Fall Art Exhibition. We are very happy and grateful to continue working with Ali!<\/p>\n<p>The Margaret Stephens Volunteer Excellence Award is created to celebrate the life of the late Margaret Stephens, a past Director and Lifetime Member of the CACR who tirelessly contributed to the arts community and the community of Richmond through volunteerism until her untimely passing in 2019. Her passion for the many projects that the CACR created and championed over the years still inspires those of us who remember her. It is our hope that with this award, her legacy of inspiring arts volunteers will carry on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Ali for receiving the Margaret Stephens Volunteer Excellence Award!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
