MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS

Fourth Thursday of most months. Meetings are held at Peninsula Baptist Church, 6127 38th Ave. NW. Meeting time 7pm.
    Upcoming meetings: June 25. No meetings during the summer: July is our annual Summer Art Festival; August 21 is our annual picnic. Meetings resume September 24, with membership renewals and election of officers for 2010.

Next Meeting: June 25, 2009 - 7pm. Location -- Peninsula Baptist Church, 6127 38th Ave. NW.
    Program: Stephen Hatcher -- inlaid woods. Also, immediately prior to the meeting (5:30pm) screening for our July Members' Show. Members who have not yet screened for our shows, or want to exhibit in a new medium, must screen. (See 'Members' Shows' below for a screening application.)

   We also have a display of work by three of our members at each meeting. Each Featured Artist brings a few pieces of their work and is available to chat during the break. This gives us a chance to get to know one another better as artists. Contact program chair Charli Meacham at charlimeacham@centurytel.net if you'd like to show your work.
