We had more discussion regarding the “long Shadows” Winter Show. We have decided to make this a giving show. With advertisement, press (Newspaper and TV, maybe).
Tentative Rules:
• Only 6 pieces maximum
• One of the six pieces needs to be for charity
• Buyer will write the check for the full amount to the charity of their choice. We will send the checks, but this money will not go through our account.
• No Entry Fees
• No Theme, No Judge?
Call us with any questions or input. We really want to know what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now, completely out of context! (Some funny things overheard at the meeting).

​“No, Betsy, I have no backbone!”
​“I’m doing some personal stuff in my mind”

​“Betsy, you’d be proud!”
