Thank you, Ariane!

The ACA Board is sad to announce the retirement of our longest serving board member, Ariane Zerr.

Ariane has donated 30 years of her time to the Avalon Community Association and other Community Associations in a variety of roles; she has held every position on the Board of Directors and has shared her talents through instructing children and adults in various crafts and ceramics classes throughout the years. Her wealth of knowledge and experience of the community will be missed by all of us!

Ariane was the original Director of Events who brought the ever popular avaLAWN afFAIR to our community; an event that will mark its 10th anniversary this year.

Please join us in sincerely thanking Ariane for her commitment for our community over the past 3 decades. We wish her and Larry all the best as they enter the next chapter of their lives.
