18 Nov 2011 Monthly meeting

The wind was blowing and howling even though the sky was clear. We knew something was up but our focus was simply on getting the door onep and not getting blown clean away. These are good days to have meetings... once inside no one wants to leave :-)

This was one of the best meetings of the year and it was unanimously voted to have more of this style of meeting. We had a round table discussion going with contributions from all ... each sharing his/her trade secrets; organizational tips; suggestions and comments. The hostess brought her famous chocolate covered bundt cake for all to enjoy.

Very Successful Scholarship Show 2010

The Carson Valley Art Association has just completed it's annual Scholarship Art Show at the CVIC Hall in Minden Nevada ..... it was the best ever .... more entries... more people attending ... more fun.
This all volunteer produced show went very well. The volunteers enjoyed serving and all had a good time.
The raffle had many, many terrific prises which were happily carried off by the winners.
The "flea market table" was overloaded with quality items for sale...cheap! These items also were rushed out the door.
The food available for the visitors was a "gourmet" delight.
The quality of the art displayed this year was exceptional. The many ribbons and prizes justly awarded to the various artists indicated the talent, time and effort put in by the winning artists.
