Editor,
The Domestic Violence Resource & Support Center of Carroll County has been wonderfully blessed! We wish to offer thanks to Teresa Pelliccio De Vito for her inspiration in orchestrating the wonderful auction of her “Nuit Rose Painting” in this first annual event. Her generous heart was quick to connect the dots of two of her paintings that drew two women to purchase them. The one, a call to empower women, “You are Enough” now hangs in the Purple Flower Office.
What a great idea you had Teresa! Your beautiful artwork has now become a vehicle for supporting women in Carroll County and you have helped us to shine a light and continue the conversation! We are so grateful for your efforts and lovely artwork!
We also thank Linda Hager, owner/chef of the Cottage Inn, for offering the highest bid of $525 for Teresa’s painting! We appreciate your very generous and kind support!
It is a wonderful thing for a community, women helping women!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Linda Maiella for The Purple Flower
