New Business Lorne brought members up to date on the status of the Harmony Arts Festival. The venue will not be exclusive to the WVSC, so we will have to apply for this venue, along with anyone else who would like it. Apparently the North Short Photographic Society is interested in the Harmony Arts Festival, but is willing to share this venue with us. This may be our opportunity to ensure our participation. Applications for individuals wishing to participate in the Harmony Arts Festival are available online, at the library, or at the Harmony Arts Festival Headquarters. Volunteers.
