President’s Message

Greetings Collage Artists,

Our February workshop was fantastic. A special thanks to Emma Lou Martin for her extra efforts to inspire and teach us with materials and ideas. It was a productive and enjoyable day. The national postcard show is coming up, along with several VCS shows between June and November. Work hard on your masterpieces, and please give me a variety of photocopies of your work for the anniversary sign. I will explain this better at the meeting. Join us on March 12th in the large gallery. Marti Fann will present a wonderful program for our education and enjoyment.
