ANNUAL SALE J

September's here and we all know what that means! School's in (phew), and
those of us who are planning to take part in the Guild's Robson Square
sale, November 27, 28, and 29, can begin in earnest to work toward it,

Sincere thanks to those who took the time to fi11 in and return the
newsletter poll in the spring. The response to the question of proceeding with
the sale at Robson Square was positive; a large majority of you indicated a
desire to continue. B8ased on this, we're counting on a participation equal to,
if not greater than, your involvement fn the pest two years.

The Gallery on Granville Island is doing @ fine job exposing the public to
a broad range of ceramics. The space there is limited, however, and I
believe the sale at Robson Square even for three days a year is well worth
the effort. The potential for informing the public and for increasing their
awareness of the Guild's existence and purpose is growing each year in the
dowtown location. We just have to be sure our publicity is effective!

With that in mind, the Guild Executive this week will be presented a proposed
budget and plan for programme. The intent is to promote the theme of "LIVING
WITH CERAMICS", demonstrating the functional ard decorative possibilities of the
medium.

In case anyone is wondering why no one has bean in touch about the sale
already, please rest assured, it will happen soon. In the meantime get ready:
The October newsletter will have full details and application forms, and
I also encourage you to come to the September Annual Meeting.
