A Happy New Year to Everyone. I do have some sad news though: I wanted to inform everyone that Bonnie, my partner from the very beginning (since 2011!!), has decided to step down from helping me run the Contest (we've also had additional partners over the years). I so appreciate her many years of dedication to this event. But if you want this event to continue, I need a few people to volunteer to help me run it because I cannot do it alone. (Remember, the Contest is a charitable organization run on a shoestring budget.) How many hours? As many -- or as few -- as you’d like to offer. :-) Seriously, though, there are a number of different tasks that require different number of hours; as little as one hour of volunteer time to many hours. I also know that the time required for some tasks could be reduced with streamlined processes. If you are interested, shoot me a private message with your email address. Then after I’ve **hopefully** received a few responses, I’ll email everyone to decide on a date/time to meet at my house in Old Town. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Well, jeez, Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! So ... Happy Thanksgiving!! Although I'm bringing the color copies of the paintings inside, just message/text me if you want to pick up your kid's color copy (remember I keep them until the Showcase the following year ... and a bit beyond that).
