Okay, that's the headline, now for the nitty gritty.

We only had four members attend the gallery planning meeting held earlier this month. Luckily, we were able to quickly make decisions on most of the details. We need to hear from everyone in the group. Ida has graciously agreed to make the entire menu for the exhibit reception, which will consist of finger foods with bottled water and punch to drink. Brenda has graciously agreed to pick up the materials, such as plates, cups, and napkins. I have worked on brochures and ads to publicize our group and the event as well as some custom art work to display our name at the exhibit. As a group, we will all need to contribute to cover these expenses. We estimate that it will be about $5 per person. This is a very small price to pay to have our own exhibit where we can feature and sell our work! We will also need some volunteers to setup, man, and clean up after the exhibit.

Regarding entry exhibits, Brenda and I have only heard from Ida and Lynn regarding their contributions to the exhibit. We really want this to be a great success, to really showcase who we are - our talents and our passions. So, let's make sure this exhibit is the best we can possibly make it! Please contact Brenda and/or myself immediately, letting us know if you plan to participate and, if so, with how many pieces. Please take a minute to send us an email even if you don't plan to participate, letting us know that is the case, so we can have a good idea of what to expect.

We are also looking at having a possible framing workshop like we did for the Sadieville exhibit. It looks like the Saturday before the exhibit may be a good day, as it is the day before we are to deliver our pieces. Nothing definite in this regard, yet, though. Please let Brenda and/or myself know if you'd like to attend a framing workshop and, if so, if that Saturday or another date works best.

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with their friends and family, with plenty of time to relax and refresh for a new year!

There's also more than just one birthday to celebrate! In addition to the obvious big one, turns out at least two of our members are celebrating birthdays, too! Happy Birthday to Mike Key (25th) and Brenda Fogle (26th). . .and to any other members that had or are having birthday celebrations during the holiday season!

MEEGTING DATE SET

The Scott Co Library has an opening for us to meet on Wednesday, December 9TH at 7 PM.

We need to get together to make final arrangements for the January exhibit regarding photo guideline forms and food for the reception.

If you plan to help out with the set up and/or clean up at the reception, please try to come to this meeting. If you are planning to exhibit your work, please let Dewanna or I know so that we can have an estimation of how many photos we will have to work with.

Please drop a line if you are not able to attend the Dec 9Th meeting but still want to be involved.

This is going to be a great exhibit, I'm really looking forward to showing Scott County our work!!

Brenda.

January Shooter's Gallery

Are you getting ready for the January Shooting Gallery Exhibit?
I received these guidelines (below) for framing our work for the exhibit at the Arts and Cultural Center (the old Jail) January 8Th through February 5Th. You will be able to drop off your pictures on Sunday, Jan 3rd from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM. If that is not a good day for you, please contact me and I will try to work out arrangements to get them another day. Barbara said we should schedule a reception for Jan 8Th, which is Friday evening and we should notify the newspaper and other publicity sources in order to get the word out.

You may invite your friends to enter their work. The more pictures we have, the better the exhibit will be!

We will need to know who is planning to bring some refreshments for the open house on January the 8Th and also who would like to help do the set up and/or clean up that evening

Please write me or Dewanna if you have any questions or suggestions. You may call me at 863-7444 or 859-699-1679.
These are the guidelines you need to use;
