Non-profit Art Galleries like this one, which operate with no govt. funding, and no paid Board or staff are a real service to the community. This Duncan, BC, gallery survives on donations and memberships. Can you help?

It would be good if party leaders allowed their members to vote according to their conscience. (although many would question if politicians have a conscience 😏)

The new sign outside the Oval Office (just in case some high-ranking foreign dignitary couldn't find it once they got to the White House) does not appear to be finished. I'm sure that Trump wants his black Sharpie signature under it.
