Message from Jerry Cox, Artisans' section chair

To all Creative Artisan members and fans.

I hope you all had a great summer and are enjoying the cooler weather. We will be meeeting this Thursday, September 8th at 7pm tostart up our get together again. This month will be mostly a social event to talk about what's been going on while the group was taking a summer break.

On the agenda for the evening:
We will be giving each member time to talk about what they are working on at present and if they submitted a work for the Artisans' showcase, Hand Crafted, time to talk about their piece(s). There will also be some open discussion about direction for the group this year and who we would like to hear speak.

Please invite any artisan friends you have to our meeting this week, this would be great time for someone to get to meet a cross section of the Creative Artisans' group. I have always felt that the group should be a resource to refer someone you can trust in an area of expertise other than your own, so evryone should bring 12-15 business cards so we can share and have that info at the ready for when you are with a client that might be able to use those services. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Jerry Cox
