Picnic Postponed
Just a few days ago we announced our Annual Picnic set for Monday, July 18. On Saturday, the weather forecast made it clear that mid-day temperatures in Jamestown were going to exceed the limits of fun and even safety. Watch your email for a new date and venue! We planned a memorial for our longtime friend, active supporter and historian, Loretta Pagni, who passed away recently, and we will celebrate her life on the new date.
Future Meetings, Volunteer Opportunities
Even though we are not having a General Meeting in August, our Art Show Committee and our Committee to Recommend Sharing the Proceeds from the Art Show with local schools will be meeting. We will give more details later this month, but as always, we welcome every one that has an interest to drop in. Louisa King will be chairing the meeting on giving aid to the schools and she will be looking for some additional volunteers. So far Rana Ford has volunteered to help and Linda Happel and I will continue to participate in this most important activity. The Art Show Committee has several volunteers already (Jamie Showers, Marilyn Zinner and Sally Fischer) but we need several more to put on the 2023 Art Show and Exhibition in its new extended format. So, join us in August or let me know that you would like to help by calling me at 925 588 1417.
We had a good turnout for our June demonstration artist, Jeannie Vodden, one of our judges for the 67th Art Show and a water color specialist. I am sorry I missed her demo, but those that attended were well rewarded. Check out more on her background and presentation at the Upcoming Artists tab.
Library Art Show
Our next Library Show will be taking in art from MLAA members on August 3, 2022. The subject is “Fall Colors”. If you are looking for a venue to show your work, the Tuolumne County General Library is a wonderful one! If you’d like to participate in this informal, nonjuried show, contact Venue Chair Susan Kendall at 925 255 3234.
I hope to see you at the picnic and the August Meetings!
