Business Meeting & critique, FEBRUAY, 2010
Being there were no particular happenings occurring in the near future, Barbara opened the meeting with a thank you to Doug & Janet Broadhurst for another great party at their home. It was requested by several members to send, thru email, the addresses of our members Ron Golia and Tom Pepper, for those wishing to send well wishes. Both are currently working through health related issues. There was also a discussion about our building fund monies; the past history on acquiring a building for the club. Hopefully we will acquire a building… someday. Thankfully, we have use of the Town Of Islip, Gillette House in Sayville in the meantime.
Critique Nite:
Our critique opened with several member’s works based upon the theme Love, Hope, and Textures. Each was unique with their interpretations.
We would like to extend a special Thank you to John Aalto for his creating CDs from our demo nights as well as posting on Youtube.
