This Week at VOICEcorps
  Shari Veleba Is this Week's VOICEcorps Honoree

On Tuesdays and Thursdays Shari Veleba can be found at VOICEcorps. As our staff marketing/media & PR coordinator, Veleba gets the word out about VOICEcorps to our community and media. As a photographer, and emerging artist, Veleba recently had two photographs accepted into the 2010 VSA arts of Ohio traveling exhibit, Accessible Expressions. Veleba is shown with her photo Malabar Farm Pond, taken in June, 2009 near Mansfield, Ohio. Her other work in the exhibit is a photo of the Ohio Statehouse at sunrise. At the opening of the exhibit, Veleba was surprised to receive recognition for her inclusion in the exhibit from the Ohio House of Representatives and Rep. Ted Celeste, of House District 24. Accessible Expressions can be seen throughout March at the Westerville Community Center, Westerville, Ohio and will be at numerous sites throughout the state this year.
