This is all thanks to generous donations made in honor of Darlene De Simone from the DeSimone family, friends, and Splunk Technology! According to Lauren Getek, a former Executive Director at the RACC, "Darlene was a bright and friendly fixture around the Rome Art & Community Center for many, many years. She wore many hats – from office support staff to art instructor, to greeter, to event assistant and all-around jack of all trades. Darlene was warm and always reliable; she was the perfect fit for a cultural organization as she was supremely creative and inspiring."
