Dimensions Newsletter - September 2005

Summer is over! Where did it go? I thought I had more time. I know that is how many of you are feeling.

Help! As of now I am wearing many hats. We have lost our newsletter editor. Ann Gardener has had to resign due to family concerns. I am in desperate need of someone to do the newsletter. I am doing this one but cannot do this and all of the other duties that need to be done.

I am also acting as program chairperson. I have programs tentatively lined up till the end of the year but I need someone to do the follow up work. This entails checking back with the demonstrator and making sure that everything is together for the program.

My thanks to Barbara Hutter and crew for her help with the summer picnic. It was really nice and I hope that this will become a regular summer event.

I would like to also thank Gail Larson for the great slide show party. This is such an interesting learning experience.

I have been helping with the juried show (something I planned on doing) and it looks like a wonderful one this year. We have many more people from outside of the Sequim Dungeness Valley who have entered. Volunteers will be needed for this show. I hope that many of you participate.

See you on September 22.
