GRAPHIC DESIGN
-
● Sent Debby info and logo for cards.
-
● Debby made a card and emailed proof. Looks great! She is having them printed. Thanks
Debby!
MEMBERSHIP
-
● Sent Cathy membership info. She is cross checking lists. She sent out a reminder to the
non-current members to send in their dues and let them know what's coming up (1 group
show so far) Cathy made two lists and sent the welcome letter digitally to current
members. Thanks Cathy! Membership is strong!
-
● Teresa Unseld mailed a hard copy of the welcome letter to current members. She will
bring in her receipt to the next meeting for reimbursement. Thanks Teresa!
SOCIAL MEDIA
-
● Emily Schnellbacher has been updating our Blog, Facebook and Twitter pages with
member shows and upcoming events. Thanks Emily!
-
● Emily- the blog looks wonderful! You are really doing a great job with it. I think we should
still collect from the blog and shoot out a monthly mailchimp with exhibition opportunities
to members- or shoot out a link to the blog as a reminder to check it.
-
● Please be aware: Someone outside of our board posted the welcome letter on
Facebook and Twitter. We don’t know who did it or why- I’m sure intentions were good-
however, I took it down because that information should only be made available to paying
members.
-
● We are phasing out Phila caucus FB page for Women's Caucus for Art Philadelphia
chapter page. Way better.
-
● Calendar: I thought I could share this with everyone so you could add your upcoming
shows, but it doesn’t let me. I need to type in your email address to give you permission
to edit. I gave Emily, Virginia, Eva, Cathy, Laura, Bonnie, Teresa and Debbie access so
far. If you don’t have access please email your events to Emily at
Emilyschnellbacher@gmail.com. or email me at krisosgood@me.com and I will give you
access. Thanks!
-
● Emily: Do you know if this can this be posted as a permanent feature on our Blog,
Google doc and FB pages? Emily is working on this. We are having sharing issues. Need
to make it open to all.

MEMBER NOTES
A note from Alisa Fox:
I wanted to pass on to you and maybe others in the group that I have a large scale Barco projector that I used for installations that needs to be used. I don't have the focus or means to work with it at this point and I am looking to sell it to a good home. It works wonderfully and has been used at the Crane and other locations. I've attached the owners manual and let me know if anyone is interested.
Thanks and I hope this finds you and everyone at WCA well.
Take care,
Alisa Fox

FIELD TRIP WITH WCA/DC
Quoting their message:
Glenstone Museum is located out in Potomac, MD. I think that it would be a great spring event. To visit the museum you must reserve a time slot in advance with the museum. They will schedule docent-led tours with groups of 15 or fewer. (You can't go through the museum by yourself.) Glenstone also has wonderful outdoor sculpture. The docent I talked to on our last visit suggested coming back in April or May at the earliest if we want to walk around and see the outdoor sculpture.
We should discuss this further at the next meeting.
