Well, it is spring, many traditions surround us, as we go about the rituals of planting tomatoes, eradicating unwanted weeds, planting flowers, and yes…war with rabbits! At this time…rabbits are winning, but I am determined to succeed, this year!!!
Change has been happening, at the Gallery! We have WiFi and a new Credit Card Machine. The code for accessing our Safety Secured WiFi is in the front of the Gallery Show Book and on the Bulletin Board in the back. Our ancient Credit Card Machine, replaced and also a new Server. I am trying to visit and introduce you to the process, but not always possible to be there. Simple instructions are right there, making the process easy! To offset our expenses, the machine calculates about 3 per cent automatically included. Signage is posted, for our customers. Please call, if you ever have a question.
We have been so honored to be invited by the City to have a Summer Show at City Hall! This is open to all members, your paintings do not have to be for sale.
