From Our Chairperson
Fall is my favorite time of
the year - cool, crisp
nights, bright, sunny
days and all that color!
Aren’t the colors beautiful and vibrant this year?
I hope you’ve had a
chance to get outside
and enjoy the everchanging landscape.
See notice elsewhere in

A BIG thank you to members who have stepped up and offered to take on
positions: Chairperson - Kathy Angel Lee; Treasurer - Evelyn Moreshead;
Membership Chair - Ellen Pelletier; Newsletter - Wendy Barrett. Still needed—a
Secretary, primarily to take notes at our business meetings as well as
someone to handle publicity. This involves sending out monthly notices to
the area newspapers about our meetings and upcoming events.

Upcoming Anniversary Celebration
Mark your calendars now for our 20th anniversary celebration! Saco Bay Artists will
have a retrospective exhibit at the Saco Museum October 16 - November 7, 2015. This
will be an opportunity to show both older and more recent work. It will be interesting to see how your work has changed over the years.
Tentative plans include:
- Applications for this show due by August 1, 2015. We will have the application
available sometime this winter. You will be able to submit up to six pieces for consideration. Depending on how many apply, we may not be able to hang all six of your
pieces, but will definitely hang at least two.
- Opening reception will be Friday, October 16, 2015 and will include a celebration of
our 20 year history.
- Do you know someone who once was a member of SBA? Please give their names to
Kathy Angel Lee (937-2125), Robert Dunn (282-6407), Sylvia Orchard (934-7712),
Evelyn Moreshead (934-0709) or Betty Shore (934-3408). We would like to contact
previous members to participate in this show.
- Do you know someone who once was a member, but has died. Maybe a family member or friend has some of their work. We would like to commemorate those former
members who have passed away by showing a piece of their work.
- We will need someone to go over old membership lists to develop a list of former
members to contact.
- If anyone is interested in presenting a program, we do have that option during the
exhibit period.
This celebration gives an opportunity to recognize our artists and what Saco Bay Artists
has done over the years within the communities. Please share any stories you might
have that would help with our celebration.
Editors Ramblings
I have missed you all!! Life has “gotten in the way” of my art and aside from a few
days when my husband and I were out in our row boats, my photography has had to
take a back seat this year. I hope to be able to rejoin the summer shows again next
year, it sounds like things went well for our most recent shows! I have included one
of my special captures from our full moon outing during the August Super Moon.
