Many thanks to Anne McMahon, our outgoing Membership Chair, who deserves most of the credit for a job well done. It's a lot of work to gather names for all the committees and get the information as up to date as possible. Thank you to all the volunteers who allowed their names to stand for the various committees. Our new computer system was also a big help. Because of this, you'll see the format has changed a little. This year, we've also added a section of Local Community Art Organizations. We hope to expand on this for next year as well, adding a section for Education and other Resources for Artists. We're also looking at selling business card size ads to help offset the costs of printing. If you know someone who'd like to advertise their art related services in our directory next year, please have them contact Wanda. In the committee section, you'll see we have a Ride Co-ordinator. if you need a ride or can offer a ride to any of our functions, please contact Lotti Frowein. Volunteers are vital to our club. There is a huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes outside of these meetings. If you can no longer fulfifi a function, please be sure to find yourself a replacement and communicate this to the team captain. Team captains wifi be asked to form their own teams next year and provide the information to be printed in the Roster. Please check that ALL your Roster information is correct and that you are on the right committees. Recently joined members wifi have been added to a committee if they had an interest which matched a need. New members are invited to approach any committee and volunteer. Don't get left out. We still need an assistant for our Treasurer and someone to help complete the sitting roster for the Park Royal show. The Exhibition Director also needs an understudy who will then take over his job next year. Here's your chance to have a bigger say in the running of our club!
