"Each departing member has brought their own special talents that enhance Gualala Arts and make it a special organization in our community," said David "Sus" Susalla, Gualala Arts Executive Director.

We hope their example of service will prompt others to build on their accomplishments and bring new talents to Gualala Arts."
