Women’s Club of Milton to raffle Sue Dutton artwork Dec. 11

October 15, 2021

Members of the Women's Club of Milton are excited to announce the selection of Sue Dutton’s watercolor painting “All is Calm” for its 2021 Holly Fest fundraising event.

The painting was chosen by the Holiday House Tour Committee members via a virtual show, which was hosted by the Milton Arts Guild at the Studios on Walnut in Milton. The Milton Arts Guild has been an integral partner with the annual Holiday House Tour, and the studio has been included on the tour for the past six years.

Dutton generously donated her “All is Calm” painting to the club as part of its 2021 holiday fundraising raffle. Because the club recently announced it was canceling the Holiday House Tour this year, Dutton’s donation as a raffle item will be a tremendous help toward offsetting the loss from the tour cancellation.

The painting has been beautifully framed and will be available for viewing at upcoming events throughout Milton and at the Women’s Club of Milton table at the Holly Festival. Raffle tickets for the artwork are $5 each or $12 for three tickets. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn during the Holly Festival Saturday, Dec. 11.

She has held many leadership positions including president of the Delaware Association of Secondary School Principals, president of the Delaware Administrators of Special Programs and board member of the Delaware Association of School Administrators.
