Third Friday This Week
There is plenty to look forward to for the rest of February! You may have spent Valentine’s Day with a quiet dinner at home, so why not come out for Third Friday on February 19.
Exhibits of new art will be plentiful, especially at the galleries and shops in the Village on High. Long time artist Maryanne Cannon will be expanding into Cottage I in the Village at 501 N. High Street. She will have the opening of “La Bottega’s Bottled Memories.” The works on display will all be oil paintings and be evocative of fond memories throughout the last two decades. The artist invites you to choose a frame from the “wall of frames.” When you purchase the frame, you will get an original Cannon at no extra cost. When you visit, learn more about the special painting shown here, entitled “Nine Women.”
MILLVILLE – When a random act of gunfire claimed the life of Maurice “Reese” Lewis, his friends and family pledged that the teen’s compassion would be his legacy.
“We all realized that something needed to change,” said Stephanie Risley, 21, of Millville, a longtime friend of Lewis. “For someone so innocent, who wasn’t involved in anything bad, who never hurt a fly, for something like that to happen, we were all just shocked.”
“We don’t want to lose anyone else the same way we lost Reese or have anyone else go through what we went through,” Risley said.
They channeled their anguish into action launching the nonprofit “Our Future First” and focused on opening a youth center for middle school and high school teens who they see as overlooked and underserved.
