This evenings meeting was called to order by President Kelly Kramer. The first order of business was to thank everyone who made cards for last month's meeting. The cards are to be distributed during the next year to our own members for birthdays, etc.  We are still quite short on the amount of birthday cards that are needed.  If everyone could please make one more card and bring it to the June meeting it would be greatly appreciated.

It was also announced that there is still a need for newsletter artwork for the month of September.  If anyone is interested in creating art for that newsletter, please see Bridget King or Jan Hoefler.
Tonight there would be "free" newsletters available for anyone who wishes to keep them.  They are full of good quotes and artwork. Next month we will resume the "book sale".

Thank you to all who were involved with the Mother's Day card making at Bayshore Mall. It was a success.  There will be a time change for the card making for the Father's Day event. The time will now be from 12 noon until 4 pm at Bayshore Mall.  The date will still be Saturday, June 7th, 2008.  Examples of the cards that are to be made were shown at this meeting.

It was announced that a workshop entitled "Graphic Techniques" will be held in September.  Continue to watch the newsletters and mail for further updates and enrollment.  Examples of the work to be done was shown at this meeting.
Faith Miller announced that we had FOUR guests at tonight's meeting.  They included the following: Rindy Rodky, Susan Backus, Don Huyvaert, and Frank Brahm.

Chris Sokolowski then announced tonight's refreshments were provided by the following members:  Monica Krack, Ruth Herons, Laura Hartnett-Weiner, Peggy Rymaszewski, Barb Gabel, Karen Kartaly, Les Butz, and Sheryl Wade. Sign up for the June meeting was available.

The "CCC 25th Birthday" T-Shirts will be available at the June meeting.
The exciting event of unveiling the "Secret Scribes" was then presented.  All members who participated were given a special made card titled "You've Got Mail".  It listed all participants, and "whom sent to whom".  Many tables were full of articles of art and gifts that this year's participants shared this evening with the entire group.

Door prizes were then raffled.  This month they were provided by Artist and Display.  Tonight's winners included Linda Lubner and Bridget King, who both won artist's sketch books: and Betty Greives.

This year's scholarship winner was announced.  The chosen High School senior is Sarah Peck.  She will be attending college in an art related major.

Tonight's program was then introduced by Val Sonntag.  Three of our own members would be speaking to us on the "basics" of our trade:  ink, pens and paper.  First Marji Groth spoke to us about ink.  Then Sue McConnell spoke to us on pens.  And finally Karen Kartaly spoke to us on paper.  We were all amazed at how much information each subject could teach us.  After all the speakers were finished, each member was given free samples and handouts on the information provided.
See you at the June meeting!!!
