Once again, let me remind everyone that we are in need of someone to replace Amanda Bruun, our secretary/recorder by February 2011. She has been in this position role since of the organization started and needs a well-deserved thank you and a break from the job. It will not be possible, to function without someone as Secretary/Recorder ....we need someone to step forward for us now so they are trained when Amanda leaves the position in February 2011. She will continue to be on the Board of Trustees.
The Bead Mural Project is completed. The city had a celebratory introduction to the work on Tuesday, August 3rd prior to the City Council Meeting. We had a celebratory open house (with wine) at our Gallery immediately following the unveiling ceremony. It was an inspiring and wonderful experience. Perhaps there will be more bead murals to come in Pinole.
"Art in the Park" at Fernandez Park on August 22nd. Was a wonderful experience for all who participated and will hopefully be the first of many in years to come. Bill Lake, who desires kudos for his efforts and hard work tells me we had 34 exhibitors, lots of visitors with lots of interest and sales. Pinole Artisans netted about $1,000.
We have begun the process of having a late fall Open Studios (November 5 through 14, 2010). More about that as it crystallizes.
Once again, our new light pole banners will soon appear on city light poles. A number of Pinole Artisans have gifted two-thirds of the cost of these banners. Anyone else willing to provide a gift of money towards the light pole banners or the plaque commemorating the bead murals is encouraged to do so. Call/email Penny Bledsoe at 724-5494,

to do so.
