<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mark the dates on your calendar - the 2007
North Adams Open Studios will be held the weekend of Oct. 13th and
14th. Once again, it will be a city-wide event with art being shown at
multiple sites.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last year's event was a wonderful success, with
more than 500 visitors, support from the city and some local businesses,
and lots of good press. So much of that success was due to the
efforts of Jane Hudson and Diane Sullivan. Unfortunately, they've both got
other commitments this year and won't be on the organizing committee
again. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, please step forward if you're interested in
being on our new committee to make the 2007 Open Studios another exciting
art-filled weekend. We've got 8 months to pull it together. Last year's
experience taught us a lot and should help things go smoothly this year.
And of course, new ideas and improvements are welcome. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to get an organizing committee
together of at least 10 or 12, with each person having a reasonable amount of
work. This committee will be defining the event, registering artists,
planning the sites, planning the budget, etc. during the next two
months. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please let me know if you'd like to be on the
committee. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot.</FONT></DIV>
