Pinole Artisans

Vickie's Voice

Thinking back over the past few years of Pinole Artisans programs, I am quite pleased with the great variety and high quality of our speakers and teachers.  We've had such interesting, inspirational artists sharing their technique and life stories at our monthly meetings.  And some of the best have been our own members.  How cool is that?

Bill Lake and I have served on the Programs Committee for a few years now, and I am thinking it may be time for some new blood.  Bill has already officially resigned, but I whined and cried sufficiently for him to agree to stay until we found his replacement.  This could be a good job for a member who enjoys talking to artists in the Bay Area.  It's not a difficult job.  But it does require an ability to keep track of bookings and finding out what equipment may be needed (projector, laptop, microphone) and lining them up before the monthly meeting.  An ability to act as a friendly ambassador is a must.  I would be happy to surrender my position to some capable person as well.  It's been extremely rewarding.  But sometimes you've just got to move on to do something different.  I am willing to stay on as the technician in charge of camera, projector, etc.

If you are interested in taking on a rewarding volunteer job of coordinating the programs of our monthly meetings, please call me.  Time required:  Minimal.  Rewards:  Maximum.

Keep creating!
