The Painter’s Roost allows guests to paint, socialize in eclectic atmosphere

By Megan Cummins

Anita O’Donnell spends her days in a quaint, light-filled space surrounded by uniquely refurbished furniture and a paint-splattered floor. O’Donnell, owner of The Painter’s Roost which was recently established on Huffman Mill Road, offers people of any age or skill level the opportunity to improve one’s painting abilities. Upon walking into the store, one is overcome by the homeyness that characterizes the painting studio — the bright color palette of the interior and the studio’s eclectic rooster decor immediately transports customers to an old country farmhouse. For $25-$45 per person, each customer is supplied with necessary materials such as brushes, a canvas, an easel and paint to complete their own masterpiece.

New Jewish Fraternity

By arose8

Elliot Aks, Garrett Mann, Ben Karas, Zach Csillag, and Mason Sklut all had a vision. The five Elon students wanted to bring a jewish fraternity to our campus, and a year later the founding fathers of Zeta Beta Tau the world's first Jewish Fraternity, were initiated. "There's something to be said about having a Jewish Fraternity, the culture, the history, the traditions, there's nothing like it," said Mason Sklut. Each of its founding fathers believe the fraternity will be a good outlet for all Jewish men at Elon. "For me it's not so much about religion, as it is community and culture," said Garret Mann. [div class="alignleft"] [/div] ZBT plans to get involved right away. "In the coming year I plan to build a strong brotherhood within the group, and also work with the other Greek organizations at Elon, as well as the Elon community," said Zach Csillag, President of Zeta Beta Tau. Although the five core members are Jewish, ZBT is not a religiously exclusive Fraternity. "As of now we have 33 founding fathers of our organization," said Elliot Aks.
