Congratulations to all who entered the show and to all the winners.

Marilyn Bishop sent out notices to all the community press papers and The Enquirer and sent notices after the show. The only way she knows if they are put in the papers is if you bring in the press release. One was brought in of Rhonda Carpenter's "A Difference of Opinion".

Shirley Knollman reported that we had 43 members with 86 paintings in the show. 4 paintings sold @ $200 or less per painting. Thanks to Susan Grogan, Taylor Bush and Rhonda Carpenter for leading the teams for registration, sitting the show and hanging the show.
