Congratulations to Sara Hodge This past December, the HAA Gallery was the site of
a well-deserved celebration for two founding members
of the Harford County Cultural Arts Board (HCCAB).
HAA member Sara Margaret Hodge and her associate
and friend Dee Schuette were honored for 40 years of volunteer service to the Board from 1973-2014. The Harford
Artists’ Association would like to add our congratulations
to Sara for her accomplishment and additionally thank
her for her many years of contributing to HAA. See link
