Peggy discussed the possibility (very preliminary) of proposing a group show at PFAMily Arts, a new performing and visual arts center in the Lakeside shopping/dining development in Plano. www.pfamilyarts.org (Next to Weir’s on Preston Road). It would be helpful if members could send some recent examples of their work (reasonable file sizes, please) to Peggy pegep@tx.rr.com, so that she can make a presentation to the director of the facility.

Deanna Wood said that she would be following up on a possible show at the ArtCenter of Plano.
Junanne Peck and Peggy Epner will drive to Kilgore on Dec. 10 to pick up work from the Alchemy of Encaustic show. Please make arrangements with them to get your work. Donations will be accepted for gas and packing materials.
