November Meeting Don't miss it!!

The next MCS meeting is Sunday, November 4, from 12:30 - 3:00 pm at the Darien Municipal Center. Our guest will be Jane Hamill, who helps creative types with low-cost, high return strategies to market their business and sell their work. She also helps with costing and pricing and the confidence needed to sell.

We have asked Jane to address pricing our artwork and ways to maximize our sales.
As always, you may bring treats to share and any art materials and collage/assemblage fodder you'd like to swap. Hope to see you there!
