The 2018 PAPNM Annual Meeting will be held at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (2301 12th St. NW, Albuquerque, NM). https://www.indianpueblo.org
PAPNM’s Bylaws require us to hold an annual meeting each year to present our Annual Financial Report and any other business deemed appropriate. It has also been traditionally the time that we elect our new Board members for the upcoming year. Because of the election, it is important for us to have a quorum of our membership to be able to hold the meeting. For this reason, we try to make it a fun and enjoyable social time for us to gather and get to know one another (door prizes included)!

This is an opportunity for members to bring un-used, gently used, or over-ordered art supplies, etc. for sale or swap to other members. Members are welcome to bring stuff for the swap (everything should be priced, and each member is responsible for her/his own transactions). We will provide several tables around the perimeter of the room and there are always a few real “finds”. Bring a check-book or cash!
