HOSPITAL DISPLAY

MEMBERS ONLY SHOW IN OCTOBER

October 12 is the tentative set up date for the Members Only Art Show scheduled to be open from Oct 13 to 19 at the Shelton Public Library.  That date is now in question because the Library has arranged to have their carpets cleaned on the 12th.  At this writing we are not sure what day we will set up and open, but we will have the show. So, get your favorite works ready to show, and be sure to sign up for setting up, taking down, and hosting the show.  There is no fee, but  each entrant is expected to do their share of work.  There will be a People’s Choice Award and sales can be made in the same manner as at our Spring Show.  

NOMINATIONS OF OFFICERS COMING UP!

November is our election of officers for 2009. If you are willing to fill a position on our Board, Please call Becky at 426-1842.  We need people for all offices.  When all offices are filled, no one person is overworked.  We especially need someone for Secretary, Vice-President, and News Letter Editor.  Think about it, and give it a try.  You might really like it.
