The Karen Durst Costume Fund – Karen Durst was a tremendously creative and talented woman who shared her artistic nature via quilting, sewing, wearable art, and poetry. She was also a devoted mother and loving sister. Her unfailing good humor, willingness to help, and genuine interest in others were all qualities that made her a truly wonderful colleague, mentor, and teacher. Karen generously offered to donate her sewing expertise and costume creations to the Jr. Ballet Ensemble. Unfortunately she was taken from us before her desired donation could be fulfilled. A costume fund was started in her memory to continue her wish to provide costumes to the Jr. Ballet Ensemble.
