DOOR PRIZES: We would love to have lots of door prizes to give away during the evening in addition to our major raffle prizes. People must be present to win these, which encourages attendance and potential ticket purchases! It also helps us to build our mailing database. If you have inexpensive art items (prints, note cards, etc.) that you are willing to donate to our cause, please bring them with you to the 5:30pm meeting. Or contact Tamlyn or Heidi to arrange delivery if you're unable to attend. Our posters will be included as prizes too. If you know a person or business willing to donate something (gift cards, T-shirts, etc.) all the better! Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

Brochures will also be available for pickup.

Changes in Bulk Mailing: We are no longer allowed to borrow the bulk mail permit from the Mount Horeb Area Chamber of Commerce for legal reasons. This year we will be getting our bulk mailing done by Thysse Printing in Oregon. This will continue to save our organization money on the cost of postage. However, we are no longer able to include individual artists' mailings unless you are willing and able to give us your mailing list in a spread sheet. Your pre-labeled brochures cannot be included. This is because the printer includes their bulk mail permit indicia on a metered label.

For those of you doing a mailing of brochures on your own , you may wish to review the Spring Art Tour mailing list of names . That way you can prevent the unnecessary cost of duplication. Questions? Contact Tamlyn .
