Dragonflys
Club Richelieu generously donated $500.00 to Support to Single Parents Inc so that Madeleine Raiche, a local artist, could create a series of 4 panels paintings entitled "Dragonflys". These dragonflys signify "hope and good times to come". The paintings were hung at the agency on Feb. 14, 2009 by the artist who stated "I wanted to create a piece of work that would have an impact on the single parents and their children so that they may have hope and that after transitions there are good times that will follow".
