Pick-up time for work at the Bloomingdale "Peace
Works" exhibit is quickly approaching.

museum during the run of our exhibit, and that there have been a number of
sales. If you are unable to pick up your
own work, please make sure to arrange for another member to do so. There was a typo on the info sent out with
the registration form, so please take note of the correct pick-up dates and
times listed below:
Friday, December 16, from 4-5 pm
Monday, December 19, from 6-8 pm
2. NOMINATING
COMMITTEE NEEDED
One to three members are needed to serve on this year's
nominating committee. You would be
responsible for contacting current board members to see whether they would be
willing to serve another term, and to recruit other members to fill any open
positions. All work can be done via
phone or e-mail. If you'd be willing to
serve on the nominating committee, please contact me ASAP at jerrireimann@earthlink.net
3. NO JANUARY MEETING
There will not be a special January meeting this year, but
remember that you can always arrange a "play date" at home and invite
a few fellow artists to join you. That
might be a fun time to share new techniques or materials and to have a chance
to chat and catch up with each other.
4. FEBRUARY WORKDAY
As always, February's meeting will be an all-day work day
from 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM at the Darien Municipal Center. Bring a project or two that you're working
on, a sack lunch and something to drink.
Also feel free to bring goodies to share and collage or assemblage
materials to swap. Ann Hupke and Sylvia
Koch have volunteered to help members do a bit of "hands on" work
with batik on paper during the workday.
A small supply list will be e-mailed before the meeting for those who
wish to experiment with the batik process.
