There will be a short business meeting followed by a talk by Mona Harmon on her continuing art journey. Some of you know Charles Bernier and I spoke with him the other day. He will not be participating in the Summer Shows summer shows this year as he is having eye surgery in July and has not been painting. Ever positive, he did say he d see us next year. I ve been busy compiling the final list of former members and we will be doing a mailing to all those members. It s quite a long list - about 150 people. Wouldn t it be nice to see some of them again or to have them participate in some of our summer shows? Betty has arranged an exhibit opportunity in July for SBA at the newly remodeled Libby Library in Old Orchard Beach. See details below for dates and times.
