Friends of Sarasota Pen Women
The Sarasota Branch of the NLAPW is fortunate to have several patrons who are creative women themselves, though they have not sought formal membership into the NLAPW.
These women, whom we call Friends of Sarasota Pen Women, attend our events and support our efforts through their volunteerism. We are ever grateful that they like being around us and are true patrons of the arts.
If you would like to join as a “Friend,” please contact president@sarasotapenwomen.org.
