Library show. 4 pictures got 4 votes each: Julie Moskal Tall Pines, Pretty in Pink Kim Hartman, Sing me a Song (Cardinals) Bev Johnston, Sail Away Sue Finch, Sue’s picture was the entry that was randomly drawn and a matted print was delivered to the library for the winner.
Do we want to do the Summer reading program show next year. If so Leslie will get the category to us as soon as she knows – vote – the majority of those present said they would do the show. I will contact Leslie and get us on the list.
Art Walk. Went well. Had some small sales. A few sales were made the following week and Bonnie Johnson sold a framed picture off the wall on the last Sunday, so leaving the display up for people to ponder was worthwhile. Peoples choice award goes to the Hartmans for their Barn in Fall printed on metal. Ideas for next year – longer table cloths to cover items stashed below them, food (church will probably provide) assuming covid isn’t much of a concern by then. We will be writing up a standard operating procedure so things are easier next year.
