PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Hello Painters, Spring is on its way!
A few more white days are sure to come, but only a dusting!
With a positive outlook we at WWCA have a number of decisions that have to be made. This will be a year of change. I will be stepping down as president this spring. I have been the president for the last 5 years. It has been a exciting and fulfilling experience. I have enjoyed working with everyone and look forward to continuing to participate in WWCA events. We will therefore need a new president.
In addition to the presidency there are several positions on the board that also need to be filled.
They are:
|
Vice President
|
Membership Chair
|
 |
Publicity Chair
|
Mailing Chair
|
 |
Web Master
|
Hospitality Chair
|
This is a volunteer organization. Your help is needed for it to run as a smooth operation. I hope you will consider taking on one of these positions. If you are interested please call Eric Wentworth at 202-328-0453 or send an e-mail, at eb@bellatlantic.net. Make sure you say what position you are interested in and your name will be placed on the ballot. We need this information by March 15th, 2011.
In addition, two honorary members have been accepted. Our heartfelt welcome to: Margaret Graham Kranking and Juette Day.
Thank you,
Barbara Weiss
