We wrap up 2011 with a whirlwind of excitement, hard work, and warm smiles. A lot of people need to be thanked. Our board of directors have carried a lion's share of the work load for the Pinole Artisans, and some dedicated members have pitched in an made special events happen. But why would anyone want to add themselves to the "thank" list for next year? Because, because, because.
Number one, it's what is required to make any volunteer organization work. Number two, because if you believe in our common goal which is....do we remember what it is? Oh yes, we do. It's to promote the visual arts in Pinole. Why? Because art is important in a society. Any society. And number three, it's GOOD for us as individuals.
I invite you to make 2012 the year that you jump in. Take the plunge. Volunteer. Get involved. Teach a class. Work on a committee. Make new friends. We need fresh ideas for programs. We need committee volunteers for events in 2012. In other words, Help! You are wanted. Programs: At our January meeting we will welcome Mike Kendall from Benicia. He is a very interesting artist from Benicia who works in metals, making sculptures large and small. See his work at: http://www.mikekendall.com
