MCS MEETING FOR TOMORROW FEBRUARY 1 IS BEING CANCELLED
We have decided to cancel the meeting tomorrow because of the snow. Since we do not
know if the weather will be worse in the morning or afternoon Maureen decided we should
cancel for the safety of all members. We also had to consider the photographer coming all
the way out and not knowing how many people would show up. We are hoping to be able
to add him in to the March meeting. We will send an update later this month.
Be safe and we'll see you in March.
Important - Hours are 9-3
PLEASE RSVP TO NOW Barb Boland at barbidoodle@comcast.net ASAP
Date: February 1, 2015 will be an all-day work day but we will have photographer available in the first part of the meeting only. (morning)
Important - Hours are 9-3 Bring a lunch
Photographer: Ben Cooley who photographed our work for the Zhou B. Art Center show.
Cost: 1st piece free. Any additional pieces $10 charge payable to Ben Cooley on the day of the shoot.
Limitations:
All members have the opportunity to have one piece of artwork photographed but the main purpose of this opportunity is to have a cd with new images to send out with proposals for new shows.
There are no restrictions on size but due to limitations of lighting at the police station Ben requests no glass on the artwork.
Please let Barb Boland know if you are going to bring a piece - barbidoodle@comcast.net
