Club business:
- Art Fest:
- We need to move on to Plan B for the featured artist as we have not heard back from the beck center. Andrew and Joe are working on that.
- Attendance at monthly art fest meetings, which occurred on the first Wednesday of every month at 6:00 PM, has been spotty. Meetings will now be moved to 7:00 AM prior to the Rotary meeting. The meetings will still occur on the first Wednesday of every month.
- Call for artist postcards are now available at the library through Andrew.
- Patty reminded us to be focused on sponsors. The sponsor packet was sent out to all club members by Andrew on March 12th.
- District conference:
- The conference is on April 25th and 26th at the Marriott East.
- Our club will provide a display for the event.
