2 FROM YOUR PRESIDENT Creative Juices Page 2 Photo by Traci Schilling The fair is nearly here and I am busy getting ready for that. I am also working on some 5x7 pieces for our September fund raiser. I hope everyone else is also working on them, but more about that and the fair later in the newsletter. For those of you not at the last meeting, I will not be running for president next year. I would like to still stay active on the Board of Directors, but I want to spend more of my time and energy on our shows. I am finding it is just too hard for me to be president and work on the shows as much as I would like to. We are losing a few other members of our Board of Directors, which means we will be looking for new members to join our board for It is always nice to have new people on the Board since they come with new ideas. Do you have any ideas you would like Sequim Arts to pursue? Do you have a skill that you would like to share? president@sequimarts.org and let us know. I hope you are having a happy and creative summer. Linda Stadtmiller, President Out of Gas By Linda Stadtmiller
