Spring has sprung, although you wouldn’t know it with the weather that we’ve had. It is time to start thinking about what shows you want to participate in, what you will be entering in the Amador County Fair in July, and joining the Open Studio Show in September. Yes, that all seems far away, but it will be here before you know it, so get those art materials out and start building that inventory! Please also consider helping out your Art Association that brings these things to you by volun- teering to be on a committee or signing up for duties during the events. We are also still in need of a publicity person, which would be a great opportunity for you to learn how to market yourself too. We have some great demonstrations lined up for our meetings, so I hope we will see you there! -Cynthia Dunn-Selph, Treasurer
