Additional unelected positions:

As you can see, we need some one to fill the position of secretary.  Marilyn Martin has held this position for several years and needs to step down.  It involves taking notes at a monthly board meeting and the monthly program.  Computer skills necessary.

It is important for any organization to have positions filled by new folks.  If you enjoy WVAS programs, please consider coming along side one of the board positions during this next year.  Board meetings are held the Wednesday evening before the Tuesday monthly program.  Members are welcome to come and see how the planning is done.  We are grateful for Rachel Lattimore's contribution since her move to Lafayette two years ago.  Diane Camberato has stepped up to help with the exhibits that we all enjoy.  Please respond to this e-mail if you would be willing to serve as WVAS secretary.  Thanks much.

This month there will be NO 3rd Tuesday program.  Instead we will have a Saturday Paint Out, October 29th.

We'll want to take advantage of the possibility to paint outside one last time before bad weather hits.  Hopefully, the weather on the 29th will co-operate!

Time - Meet at Tapawingo Park, https://www.westlafayette.in.gov/egov/apps/locations/facilities.egov?view=detail&id=15, at 8:30am in the parking lot to car pool.

Or - we will meet you at the entry to Prophetstown about 8:50.  There is an $8 entry fee per car, so car pooling will save $.

This month at Sylvias:

Juried Show - you can pick up your paintings at 3:30, Wednesday, October 19th.  It has been a wonderful exhibit.  The People's Choice award will be tabulated at the end of the exhibit.  The artist will be notified of their award and an e-mail sent to the membership. 

At the same time, you may bring a painting to be hung at Sylvias during the holiday season until January.  Be sure to attach a paper on the back of your painting with your name, title, medium and price.  Make sure no saw tooth hangers, wire hangers please.  Remember paintings cannot be removed off the wall until January.  If they are purchased, the artist will be notified and can replace it with another painting.
