Versions of this scam under different names and slightly different wording have been around for years. Please do not engage strangers who write poorly written requests. More information can be found on the Stop Art Scams website.
Don’t forget – our last paint-out of the summer is coming up August 18th at Duke Gardens!
Plan to meet up with other members in the main parking lot (just past the visitor’s center) at 10am.
Directions to Duke Gardens: http://www.hr.duke.
We look forward to seeing you there!
