   "All proceeds will go to the Alzheimer's Association. This is a very important cause to all of the IntegraCare communities," said Nanette Bankes, LifeStyles Coordinator, Colonial Courtyard at Bedford.

    Bankes said the artwork will be based on a scene that might have a familiar look to local participants in the workshop.

    "We are doing a water scene which is very much like something you might see at Shawnee State Park's lake near Schellsburg," Bankes said. "It's a dock with the water and the grasses. It's really pretty."

    Bankes emphasized that both novice and more experienced artists are welcome at the workshop.

    "You don't have to be an artist to come to this," she said. "We will step you through it. It's easier than you think. Come for a great evening and a good cause."
