Our Total Membership in good standing is now 188. Thank you to all members who encouraged guests to come to the meeting. All Members are reminded to sign in on our attendance list, since signing in is an important part of qualifying for jurying. Please also note that items requiring pickup are left close by your sign-in sheet. Please check and pick these up at the next meeting. This includes receipts if you requested one, membership cards, rosters, etc. On the sign in sheets, there is room for reminders beside your name. Please write your address changes, etc. here. Items not picked up by March's meeting end will be discarded. Is anyone planning a bonfire? Someone is needed to take the box of outdated rosters to be destroyed. Please see Wanda at the next meeting if you can help. Thank you to Heather Luccock for volunteering to assist Al Spence with the Harmony Arts Festival Show.

Unfortunately the Banner will not be flying at Park Royal. All spaces for March were filled. I would like to up-date the Biography Book, so would ask those that need to do this to please bring it to me at the March meeting. All artists who enter the art shows should be in the book. For examples of biographies that can help you design yours, review those on the NSAG website in the Artists' Websites.
