September 2024
From the President’s Paintbrush
Goodness the summer has flown by! School has begun again and it won’t be long that all the leaves will be turning. I wonder if you are looking forward to the cool weather as much as I am.
Lots of business has been accomplished over the past 3 months of VAST vacation. The new bylaws were approved at the September 4th meeting, the new website is scheduled to launch on September 22! See the article by our V.P. of Communications, Dalynn Montgomery, who has worked tirelessly with the Executive Committee to educate us on how to use this new program so it will benefit both you and the organization! As we know, there will be a learning curve for all of us, but it gets easier as you sign in a couple of times. I have taped my password to my computer screen as it seems to take me a while to remember it when it’s changed. As much as I love change, I find remembering passwords, maddening. To speed you along, pay close attention to Dalynn’s article in this newsletter and if you are totally confused, we will have someone at the Membership table at our meetings to give you individual attention!
