GMG Power Rankings #7

What can I say about Kat Valentine but how much I appreciate all of her generous help.

Kat is one of those people who quietly and without asking for recognition does so much for our community as a whole but for the GMG Power Rankings I’ll speak to her specific contributions to Good Morning Gloucester.

Every time we are doing something that could benefit the Art community I bang out a quick email to Kat and BOOM she includes our message in the seARTS newsletter and on her site.  Need a graphic for the Russo Family Fundraiser?  -BOOM, done!  Active in the commenting section?  Hell yeah.  Participate in the GMG Logo Contest? Yep that too.

Every now and again I’ll call to check in on Kat and we always have fantastic spirited conversations about blogging or the local art scene or stupid people, lol.  I really enjoy those conversations BTW Kat.  She’s just a good egg, take it from me.  Lucky #7- Kat Valentine check out her blog here
