When you come to the meeting, bring any new slides that you would like to add to our slide collection, which we use for presentations to gallery owners when inquiring about possible shows at their location(s). This is an important part of the process of getting into galleries. Your slides represent the type and quality of our collective image. In addition, we have a very special offer from member Jean Cannon:

Jean has volunteered to take your slides and convert them to CDs for a reasonable fee. (yet to be determined). So bring slides that you would like to have on CD as well. (They could be the same slides- just let us know.) We are finding that more and more galleries are either accepting CDs and slides, or want CDs only, so this is a great opportunity to make the conversion. We can also use CDs for our collection of images, so you can bring them if you have them, or get a duplicate made. For VWS, please bring 3 images only, and mark them clearly on the slide or CD with your name, title of the piece and size of the piece.

The book with everyone’s slides and CDs will be at the meeting so you can look for your name and replace old images with new ones if you have them.
__________

HELP WANTED: We will need a few members to volunteer at the Annual meeting to help with:

1. Passing out name tags and written information, if any.
2. Assisting the Treasurer in ensuring that people are checked in, paid up, and that their names, addresses and emails are current.
3. Setting up the slide show, if we have one, and looking after the slide exchange, keeping track of who has brought in new slides or CDs and who wants CDs made.

Most of this needs to be done at 11:30, before the meeting and meal begins.
