this by creating relationships between the staff and the community, and
by showing the staff that we really do appreciate all of their hard
work! Anyone can help us plan this! #StaffAppreciation week is scheduled for August 8-14th, 2012.

#Critique-It is working on digital art this month! Any sort of digital art is
accepted into our featured folder Anyone who submits work must also
comment on work in the folder. Full details here.
