SEPTEMBER 2022

FROM THE DESK OF OUR PRESIDENT...

LOOKING FOR ART DONATIONS

The 100 Children’s Foundation is a philanthropic organization that raises money for children’s charities. This year the theme for their silent auction is "ART".

They are interested in having LAA members donate art pieces for auction at their November 15 Cocktail Party at The Landings Palmetto Club.

If you're interested in donating, please contact either Kathi Siegel 614-226-5527 or Bonnie Kelly 303-249-2127. All donations must be received by November 1. They will be more than happy to pick up the pieces. Tax slips for your donations will be available.

I hope everyone will take advantage of this worthwhile opportunity to showcase your work and help a great cause.

Thank you,

CYNDI POLLACK

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS

Please note that due to a lack of member participation we are forced to cut back on our General Membership Meetings. Beginning in October, these enjoyable meetings will only be held three times per year - October, January, and May.
 

Much time, effort, and expense go into the planning and set-up of what was once a monthly get-together with a talented and informative art-based guest speaker. Unfortunately, with only a handful of attendees, we can no longer offer them on a monthly basis. If we see that participation increases, the Board will consider reinstating these meetings back onto our calendar.

 

Should you have an opinion on this decision, please voice it via email to Cyndi Pollack, LAA President.

If you have received recognition for your artwork outside of the LAA, we would like to acknowledge you! Please send all pertinent information to Marie Tomlinson at inkstresse@gmail.com. Information received by the 20th of the month will appear in the following month's newsletter.
