The same painting cannot be shown twice, but it can be juried more than once. Thanks to those who have now converted to receiving their newsletter via email. We hope more of you wifi consider doing this. It saves the Guild time, money and paper. If you have any problems receiving the newsletter, please let me know and I'll be glad to help. If you have an item in the publicity section and wish to have a picture included in the email version of the newspaper, please contact me. The images would need to be jpegs, not too large and cropped to just the painting itself. Or you can always include a photo of yourself! Articles are also welcomed from the membership (see Cathy Roddie' s article on selling in this issue). So if you've got something interesting to say do send it on and I'll review for publication. Finally, don't forget our Classified Ad section got stuff to sell, a room to rent, etc. just let me know. Costs for ads are a measly $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members. -- (Past 4?resiient Lorne Top fiam 604-922-7225 lwtopham@shaw.ca I attended the October 19th 2006 meeting of the Arts & Culture Strategy Committee at the Municipal Hall chaired by Council Member Jean Ferguson.
