Imagine director Clare Lynd-Porter wrote a grant application to the Illinois Arts Council for a Gel Gems art set donated for distribution by Dick Blick Art Supplies. 

We received the grant and the students created a great window mosaic.

Thanks to the Noon Lion's Club, Imagine was able to provide supplies for the Art Club sponsored by ISVI art teacher,

May 2008

Imagine artist friend Jon Wos of Oshkosh, WI created this beautiful piece of art for the permanent collection at ISVI. 

The piece is called "Delicate Visage".

Purchase of the piece was possible thanks to the Noon Lion's Club and very generous donation on the part of the artist. See the top left hand corner photograph!

May 2007

Imagine and the Noon Lion's Club have created an annual award entitled the Distinguished Graduate Award -

first winner - Robert Sampson!!

You should have seen the surprise on his face!!

Robert is a successful local musician and an excellent leader for school programs,

as you can see here.

It all started in the cold, cold winter when the Noon Lion's Club designated Imagine as the recipient for their fundraiser - The Murder Mystery Dinner Theater

Imagine would receive the funds to provide arts programming for the students of ISVI.
