THERE WILL BE NO MEETING IN JULY!

JUNE MEETING
The June meeting was lots of fun, thanks to Mary Warner's wonderful demonstration on making star books.  
The swap table was loaded thanks to Margi Hafer who brought in tons of papers, books and art materials from recently deceased member, Sylvia Koch.  
Her memory can symbolically live on in our work.

THERE WILL BE NO MEETING IN JULY!

AUGUST MEETING
The August meeting, Sunday, Aug. 2nd, will be a work day with member demos from 9:00-2:30.  
Bring show and tell; perhaps your completed star books with the inserts you have added.  
Photographer Ben Cooley is confirmed for a photo session in the morning only.
Bring at least one piece (not under glass) to be photographed for a new publicity CD.
The first piece is free and any others are $10 each to be paid to Ben that day.


SEPPTEMBER RETREAT
There is still room for 5 people for the September retreat.  Contact Tania Blanco for information or to sign up.


FINE LINE EXHIBIT
We have 35 members signed up for the Kavanagh Gallery at the Fine Line Creative Arts Center.
Space for our show "Reflections Within and Beyond" is limited. 
If members are submitting one very large piece, they can add only one additional small piece.
Medium to medium large pieces we can handle two for each person, or three small pieces per person.  
There are twelve pedestals for 3D work and a glass cabinet too.

We know people are working hard to finish the pieces for the September 1 hanging date.
However, we need the titles, prices, sizes and medium by the first week of August for the labels.
If people have images with titles ready---please send those to Rachel at the Fine Line for publicity.
Her address is:     publicrelations@fineline.org
Also send them to Lezlie Lenz for inclusion in an E-Book of the show:  lezlieart@aol.com

Our last show for this year will be at Woodridge Public Library in December.
