Celebration of the Arts: A Success
On Sunday, December 3, 2006, about 60 people including CAC members and friends ushered in the holiday season at the Perkins House, which was dressed in its Christmas best. Besides refreshments, an art display by members, music by members of the Colfax High School chorus, good cheer, and good company, we patted ourselves on the back for an action-packed and successful first year. Robert and Abby Kwis donated for a raffle a chain mail pouch and a pair of crystal and chain earrings they had made. Sarah Moore of Pullman won both raffle items! The Annual Meeting you ask? We were having too much fun, so the official Annual Meeting will be held at a later date to elect next year’s executive board.
Paper Pals First to Honor Creative Licenses
Remember we told you we were working on gathering merchants willing to work with us by giving discounts to members of the Arts Council? Well, we are excited to announce that Paper Pals in Pullman is our first! Look for the “Creative License Honored Here” sign as we continue to expand this program.
Renewal Dates Changed
The Arts Council board recently changed the membership renewal date from the calendar year to the one-year anniversary of when you joined. New membership cards reflecting your new – later! – renewal date were sent out with the 1st Quarter 2007 ArtsLink Newsletter.
