The SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild (SBFAG) is a nonprofit organization that provides educational, skill-building and social opportunities for Guild members and SaddleBrooke residents alike. One popular activity is our Art & Wine Event—where friends and neighbors join in to paint a completed work of art while enjoying a sack supper and wine or water.
Proceeds of $1,800 from the Art & Wine event on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, were donated to United Cerebral Palsy of Southern Arizona (UCPSA) at the Guild’s January meeting. Rhonda Murray, UCPSA’s chief operating officer and a SaddleBrooke resident, accepted the check from SBFAG president Karen Brungardt. After the presentation, Ms. Murray exclaimed, “I am blown away by how much was raised that night. As I mentioned, I’ve been a SaddleBrooke resident for five years now, and I am so grateful to live in such a generous community!”
UCPSA services make a meaningful difference in the lives of over 1,500 individuals in Southern Arizona and Yuma County. At the core of its mission are home and community-based services like in-home personal care and meal preparation, teaching daily life activities to foster greater independence, parent programs and personalized employment support. UCPSA is one of Arizona’s oldest and most trusted non-profit human service organizations.
The next Art & Wine Event is set for Tuesday, April 30; register online at saddlebrookefinearts.org. Membership is only $25 per year and includes many benefits and activities. Guild members also enjoy a discount on class fees. SaddleBrooke residents are welcome to attend regular meetings in the Activity Center in HOA-1 at 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month from September through May.
