It’s announcement time again….I will try to keep it concise. You already have the basics.
As always, please look on the VWS web site for past information before you ask me about an event. However, I do miss important things on occasion. In that case, please let me know.

"This Just In"
Now,for a moment, a bit of a digression. I get all kinds of announcements for shows, workshops, accomplishments and items of general interest. I love hearing from you all, but these newsletters would be 3 pages long if I included every announcement, and I would become a full-time new correspondent. There should be a place where you can all make and see these announcements yourselves. We’re working on it. Meanwhile, for the moment, I am announcing only workshops or classes that are generated by the membership, either sponsored by a VWS member or presented by a VWS member. If there happens to be some information regarding that person’s credentials or achievements, I might include some of that.
As part of our efforts to make VWS more user-friendly, we have also been working on a major overhaul in the Board structure. You will be receiving an overview of those efforts shortly. It will be very important to review this information in preparation for the annual meeting, as there are many changes to the by-laws proposed. You will receive a separate (paper) announcement of the meeting and the by-law revisions later.
Now, for "official" announcements:
_VWS ANNUAL MEETING:_ This is the “big” one. Elections will be held and by-law revisions will be considered. Something else in the way of a program will be offered as well. Stay Tuned!
