PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:
Please join us at the next general meeting on Dec 13th at Center for the Arts Bonita. The guest speaker will be Lydia Black, Executive Director of the Alliance for the Arts. She will update us on the economic impact of the arts in our community.
Please plan on attending or sending a representative from your league to the meeting as we will also be voting on the 2017 budget and changes to the 2017 Coop Gallery Prospectus. Both were spoken about at the November meeting. I have also included the annual sales report and the Nov Treasurers report (the report is for November even though it says October). Please note that the financials are on a cash basis and the actual annual sales figures are from the monthly gallery sales report.
Next April new officers will be installed during the general meeting. Officers to be elected include- President, 1st Vice President, and Secretary. Remaining in office will be the Treasurer and 2nd Vice President (Gallery Director). I would like to present a slate of officers for election at the March general council meeting. If you are interested in serving in any capacity or if you would like more information, please contact one of the officers.
