Lynn Flipse Administrator, W.V.C.A.C. The West Vancouver Community Arts Council will soon be moving to "The Silk Purse", 1570 Argyle Avenue, West Vancouver, sometime in August of this year. Once owned by the Rowland family, the Silk Purse was lovingly renovated by John Rowland over the last twenty years. For a number of years the residence was offered as a "Honeymooners Hideaway" many West Vancouver couples spent their first night as man and wife in this special sea-side cottage. The unique name of the house came about, as John Rowland explains, "While doing my thing with the house our middle son Jay said 'Dad is trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'. An old saying but for lack of something better to call the place, the name stuck." The property was turned over to the District of West Vancouver this past June to be used by the West Vancouver Arts Council. Come by and visit - see a special jewel of West Vancouver's history. "An Engagement Is Announced" - between business and the arts! "For the third time Lynn Flipse of the Community Arts Council has introduced an artist at our Breakfast meetings. On May 7th Sharmini Wirasekara exhibited her 'one of a kind' hand-painted silk fabrics. She swirls evocative colours onto shimmering Cathay silks in gorgeous one-of-a-kind designs where they truly become romantic 'wearable art'." · 1 iw i nmmmutm - D M V « K C .<I ft* Wm Ms. Adine Day, Assistant Manager of Community Relations for Vancouver City Savings Credit Union hands over a cheque for $500.00 to Marius Soska, President of the West Vancouver Community Arts CounciL The money w i l l be used to fund the art show in conjunction with the Coho Festival.
