GREAT JULY MEETING!

I was so impressed with the turnout at yesterday's meeting.  I'm sorry if you were not able to make it.   Michelle ran a great meeting.  We had great show and tell, good information, good food, a new member and visitors we hope will become new members.

Thanks to Julie for opening her home to all of us and there were a lot of us... maybe Michelle has the official number.

My hope is to disseminate most if not all the information that was shared over the next few days on this blog.  I will even post some pictures if any turned out.  It would be nice if I could have corrections and comments to my notes added on to the posts from those of you in the know.  As many of you who were at the meeting know, I was a bit preoccupied with gawking and talking and operator difficulties with my camera.

Of course, two big topics at the meeting were the 2013 SAQA Conference and nearer still, the show at the Open Space Gallery.  Pat Gould is taking a lot on with the Conference and hopes for many of us to volunteer to work (work which will be fun) at the Conference.  The most pressing issue at hand is enticing businesses from Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Taos and all of New Mexico to become sponsors of the upcoming Conference.  If you know of any businesses that may be interested in sponsoring the Conference, please contact Pat.

The Open Space Gallery Show is coming up in November.  Remember... all entries must be in by September 15th.  Betty Busby is in charge of this and looking for many long entries for "AWalk in the Wild" of New Mexico.  The information for the requirements are on a PAGES tab above.

There is much more information and pictures (hopefully) to come.  Stay tuned!  ~Donna
