I see a great need to help PFAG out of it's rut. Remember no job is too large or too small. They are all important to the inner working of the Portland Fine Arts Guild, I see this first hand. I have the best team of officers and committee workers I could ask for. By the time you read this newsletter, we will have had our first Board of Directors meeting (10-13-2014). We will be meeting once a month for a time to get our act working. Following the bylaws is the best way for us to continue as an Art Guild. I ask all of you to please be patient with us for a time. We are working on a lot of good things. 1. New membership directory--very, very soon 2. New membership packs 3. Art Shows--Like the spring show--we will need a committee to set this up. Please help again, no job is too small, it's these jobs that keep PFAG running. 4. To keep an orderly streamed-lined short members meeting 20 to 30 minutes max. I - Not I, we need all of you as members to please help where you can. Please again stay with us and give us some time to fix and move the PFAG on to better times. As it was stated by one of our best workers for the Guild, "It is our Guild and It will only be as good as we the membership wants to make it." More to come. We're working.
