John Mellencamp Community

Hi all,


It's that time of year again!

I am happy to announce the 2011 SICA Minutes to Memories Garden fund raising raffle...Last year’s raffle was another great success with the JM autographed guitar being won by Chris Sandefur of Arlington Heights IL.

Larry McDonald of Seymour who is the owner of This Old Guitar store located in downtown Seymour has graciously donated another acoustic guitar for this year’s raffle grand prize. 
 
2010 was another good year for the MTM gardens! It was enjoyed and admired by the many out of town visitors and Seymour locals who visit the Art Center as well as the many out of town visitors they receive.  The Mellenheads continue to make a positive impact on John's small town!

SICA in Seymour Indiana has the only permanent exhibit of John's paintings in the country. The property is owned by John and leased to SICA for an Art gallery and community art activities. More information on SICA can be found on their web site; http://www.soinart.com/index.html The Minutes to Memories Gardens fills the space between the Art Center, the Printing museum and the "Wild Nights" pottery barn. The Minutes to Memories Gardens were conceived by the Mellenheads to honor John's Grandmother Laura which have been funded by the Mellenheads and the Seymour locals.

The drawing will be during the SICA WJAA Bustock concert on Aug 5th. Don Hill will be drawing the tickets for the lucky winners. All prizes will be mailed as soon as possible after the drawing.

ALL MONEY RAISED BY THE RAFFLE GOES DIRECTLY TO SICA FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE MTM GARDENS.

Raffle Prizes: 
There will be 1 grand prize winner of a JM autographed guitar. Additional prizes will be autographed SICA Man in Red Shirt posters

I'm getting mine organised Doug, but as you know, mine takes just that little bit longer to arrive.  You should have it within about a week.

Hi Doug!

The check's in the mail.  No, REALLY, the check IS in the mail !  Love the poster.  I finally got to see John's art in person during this winter's tour and photo's can't capture what he can communicate through paint. 

Thank's for your hard work on this.
