I was pleasantly surprised to receive an envelope adressed "to the parents of..." my daughter in her homework folder the other day. It was in a "fancy" envelope, so I knew it had nothing to do with bad behavior or the like.
It turned out to be an announcement that my daughter's artwork was selected to be displayed at our local mega-library and an invitation to an "Artists' Reception" tonight.
I'm guessing, unlike downtown gallery openings, they won't have little plastic cups of wine lined up next to exhibit brochures. We are excited nonetheless, and plan to head over to the reception as a family, take pictures, and then enjoy a restaurant meal at one of the many eateries adjacent to the library area in downtown Arlington Heights.
