LAA moves to E-Communication
Beginning in 2012, the LAA will send newsletters, prospectuses, membership renewals and occasional Flash news update via e-mail to all members who have provided—or will provide—their e-mail addresses. This move will be more efficient, will save printing and mailing costs, and will allow more contact among members.
It is important for everyone to note: that members who do not have e-mail will still receive newsletters and prospectuses via the old-fashioned and still reliable U.S. Mail.
Board members Susan Smerker, Alison Bessesdotter and Arleen Yeager worked together to prepare this transition, and Arleen will be the contact for Flash news, newsletters, etc. Many of you are members of other organizations who communicate via e-mail; we hope you will make all make a smooth adjustment to our system.
76th Annual Fall Juried Exhibition
Thanks to talented artists, good jurors, the support of Lehigh University and determined LAA volunteers, the fall exhibit at Mountaintop was a clear success. The jurors expressed their compliments regarding both the variety of our entries and also the skill level represented. For the record, the jurors selected 78 works from 125 submissions, or 62%.
