The Photography Club of Beaufort Helps

"The Greatest Generation"

Photography Club of Beaufort members donated 29 pieces of artwork to be permanently on exhibit at the new $28 million Veteran’s home in Walterboro.

Members cooperated with the other art associations in Beaufort County (Beaufort Art Association, Camera Club of Hilton Head, Society of Bluffton Artists, Sun City Art Club, Sun City Photography Club, Hilton Head Art League) and totally the groups contributed 240 pieces to beautify the bare walls of the facility.

Members who contributed to this project to brighten the walls and lives of our former servicemen and service women are:

John Albert, Marge Boyle, Mark Carter, Harry Chakides, Susan DeLoach, Sandy Dimke, Donna Fitzpatrick, Karen Harvey, Eric Horan, Larry Kay, Ed Kawczynski, Barbara Kawczynski, Susan Moose, Paul Nurnberg, Karen Peluso, Leisa Peterson, Phyllis Seas, Gene Stanford, Veronica Stewart, Juergen Thiessen, Bill Westberg, John Wollwerth, and Barry Wright.

Sun City volunteers, including interior designers, hung all the artwork. The dedication was at an oyster roast on March 16th with Governor Sanford in attendance.

The club hopes to make a field trip to the Walterboro area and visit the facility and see our photographs gracing its walls.
