ATTENTION CURRENT AND POTENTIAL MEMBERS:
I know this is late notice, but there are still a few hours left. The July meeting is tonight, 7/6/10 at Braum’s, 4125 S. National Road, Springfield at 6:30 pm.
This meeting replaces the annual business meeting required by the Guild bylaws, last amended in 2003. We have been ignoring the current bylaws in many ways and it is time to re-evaluate them and develop something that we follow.
For example:
Should we exist as an organization to produce Art in the Park and delete our education and mentoring elements?
Should we keep these elements and start complying with them?
Should we require that exhibiting/juried members act as mentors to others in the group? (This means they would have to at least attend meetings.)
Should we adjust meeting dates to quarterly instead of monthly and have real, valuable programs with guest speakers?
Which night of the week should we meet?
There are a lot of questions and issues up for discussion. We will address all of these issues at this meeting. Then we will vote on them in August.
Any questions, call Cathy at her cell: 417-689-4536.
If you can’t come, please post you comments on this post.
