Press Release Summary = Elim Christian Services (13020 S. Central Ave., Palos Heights, IL) is proud to show off the God-given talents of its 24 students with disabilities at the bi-annual Fine Arts Festival on Thursday, May 24, 2007.
Press Release Body = Dan Vander Plaats, Associate Director of Advancement at Elim Christian Services urges everyone to come and join the festivities. "Fine Arts Night is the perfect opportunity to introduce people to Elim! Every Fine Arts Night surprises all who attend - you will not believe the variety and quality of the artwork. I would argue that you would have a hard time finding a more inspiring art festival or gallery opening than Elim's Fine Arts Night."
Kathryn Aggen oversees the Art Department at Elim and agrees that you won't want to miss the Fine Arts event. She explains, "Whether you've supported Elim throughout the years or have even just been curious about what Elim is about, Fine Arts Night is a wonderful way to come check us out. You'll be blown away by the things our students can do and the joy they have in doing them!"
The evening opens at 7:00 pm and features artwork from all of Elim's students. Each classroom will also be represented with various exhibits. During the evening, a short play will be presented by some of Elim's students and several members of Elim's choir will perform. This evening celebration provides parents, students, and the general public an opportunity to enjoy the great art works created by Elim's students with disabilities.
Entry to the event is free with complimentary refreshments being served. Free parking is available in the south lot on Elim's campus.
The mission of Elim Christian Services is to equip children and adults with disabilities to achieve their highest God-given potential.
