MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR 2008-09
NEXT MEETING - The next meeting of Our Art-by-the-Sea Association will take place Tuesday, September 9, at the Friedth Family Fellowship Hall of the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Community Church, 4433 Bougainvillea Drive, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The meeting will run from 7PM to 9PM. The featured speaker will be Lee Sky who will perform a wood turning presentation. Lee Sky is an expert wood turner with over 8 years of experience. Woodturning is the spinning of a wood blank on a lathe while shaping it with a variety of chisels. The craft itself is over 2000 years old. The artist is able to create items ranging from utilitarian salad bowls and candle holders, bud vases and ink pens, to extraordinary works of art. Lee’s work is currently being displayed at Tatem Gallery in Dania Beach, Studio 19 Fine Art in Fort Lauderdale and the American Association of Woodturners Gallery in Minneapolis. He has previously displayed works at Fairchild Tropical Gardens, Flamingo Gardens, the Weston Art Show, the Orlando Museum of Art and the Broward County Main Library.

Fran Scheffler Appointed Chairperson of Program Committee
As part of our effort to strengthen the Association, we have reviewed our past year activities. In order to better support and showcase our members we believe an artist's program committee should be created to identify programs of interest. The committee will assist the Board in scheduling these presentations for our monthly meetings. We are especially pleased that Fran Scheffler has agreed to serve as Chairperson of the Program Committee. Lee Tatum, Donna Whiteside Sallee and Mary Belle Cordell have agreed to serve as members of this Committee.
The Board and I urge you to support the Committee and its work in any way you can. We are looking for your insights, connections and, hopefully, your willingness to share your expertise as a presenter at a monthly meeting. Fran can be contacted via e-mail at <FranScheffler@comcast.net>. If you have any ideas for programs of interest that you would like Fran and the Lee, Donna and Mary - members of the committee to review, please click on SUGGEST IDEAS and your suggestions will be conveyed to the committee.
Sincerely,
Arnie Regan
President
