IN FOND MEMORY OF
Michele Scott
September 15, 1958 - February , 24 2008

One of the major legacies of Michele's leadership role as an ICA Board member is the new ICA Print Center. In honor of that legacy, and as we continue to raise money for our new building, we hope to name the print center in Michele's memory. If you would like to participate in this tribute please send your contribution (in any amount) to: SJICA, Michele Scott Print Center Fund, 560 South First Street, San Jose 95113. Please make your check payable to SJICA.
