Monday, May 20, 2019 at 6:26PM For June, we will be doing the traditional members exhibition. For new members, everyone is invited to bring in a project you’ve recently completed or completed in the past but haven’t shared with the group. We set up tables to display the projects and everyone takes turns saying a few words about what you brought in. Tag your work with your name, so when everyone is walking around the members will know who brought in the projects.
The more pieces displayed the better, which is why this notice is being sent out so early. We are starting to put together the Fall meeting schedule already. Some of our best meetings have been seeing what fellow members are working on or recently completed. Please consider sharing your work with the group. Let Bob or I know and we can help you with the presentation.
