HCAC GUILD
In the Fall of 2004, There were
several people in the old HCAC
office doing a newsletter mailing.
Jane Lesesne casually
commented that the Haywood
County Arts Council needed a
Volunteer organization like a Guild.
The seed was planted, and in
February 2005, the Guild of the
Haywood County Arts Council was
born. The first slate of officers was
installed in May 2005. They were
Norretta Taylor, Sharon Hall, Pat
Wall, Jenny Nimnick, and John
Shafer.
We are a group of volunteers from
all walks of life who are interested
in the arts. We are natives to
Waynesville, and newcomers,
seasonal and full-time residents.
We understand the importance for
maintaining the arts for the good of
Haywood County.
The Guild's mission is to promote,
support and assist the Haywood
County Arts Council through
volunteerism and fundraising.
