Sponsors. We are so very much appreciative of our sponsors and I would like to let you know we have a new one at the Fine Art Store with their Rochester Art Supply Club Program. When PAPNM members and friends shop at the Fine Art Store, PAPNM will get a 5% credit for gift cards that we can in turn use for prizes at our events. Check them out at FineArtStore.com, Rochester Art Supply. Remember when you put in your order, let them know that you are associated with PAPNM.
We are having a PAPNM Board Meeting on Friday May 14, at 9:30 AM and I would like to invite you to attend. It will be via Zoom. Here is the link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82555982527?pwd=c2ZxRjJmbWpsTHdLcDRtREtVNW5XZz09
Meeting ID: 825 5598 2527
Passcode: 080763
We try to keep our meetings to under two hours, which can be a challenge with all that the team is working on. This is a very hard working Board! When you join the meeting, we will have you on mute, but you will be able to ask questions via chat. We will be monitoring those inquiries and addressing as many as we can during the session as it applies to the reports presented by each board member. At the end of the meeting, we will open up for general discussion.
Send me any questions or comments you may have by replying to this message. Looking forward to hearing from you.
As always, have a wonderful day!
