The members present were awed by the improvements added to the gallery by Jim McKerrow. He replaced the steps to the back door with a safer set, which will make the job of taking things in and out of the tent much easier. He placed a railing on the left side of the steps leading up to the front porch. What a blessing that will be to visitors and club members alike! He also made a new cabinet with doors in the back room and a shelf for a coffee maker and other things beneath it to make things tidier during the fair. These additions will also make a home for art books donated by Sandra Heavlow from Doug’s collection. Members have already been borrowing the ones that are there and are finding them very interesting and helpful.
Those who were present signed up for days and times to help at the fair. If you will be able to come and haven’t already signed up, please contact Theresa McKerrow at 570-297-3823 as soon as possible. We are looking forward to an exciting contest and another great week at the Troy Fair.
The meeting on August 11 will be our annual picnic. We will meet at the Zander Gallery at 10:30 A.M., have a brief meeting if necessary, and share a meal together. Please bring a dish to pass. Also bring painting or drawing materials if you would like to spend some time creating art together after lunch. As always, spouses and significant others are very welcome to join the club members for this time of fellowship.
