The Thursday Post 712

Howdy Local Marylanders!

It's Thursday again and you know what that means - Updates! However, I really do not have a whole lot to share right now. Tho I should tell you that if you missed last week, do visit Post 705 to get all the juicy bits.

Potters for SoPAL
I only really have one little thing to share with you this week - our next Inaugural Artist's Meeting.

It is being held this Sunday, July 15th @ 3pm in Edgewater, MD. If you wish to attend, please contact me by email at sopal.org@gmail.com or by phone at (443)333-8132 to RSVP no later than Friday, July 13th, 2012. This is being held at a private residence and because of this, we will not be publicly publishing the address.

During our meeting we will be discussing organization's action plan, doing a final review of our vision and mission statements, discussing ideas for member recruitment, as well as continuing our conversation on member benefits and fees upon incorporation. If you can contribute to this conversation, we encourage you to attend.


That about wraps things up for today's post. Thus, I bid you adieu for now and wish you another wonderful July week! Have a lemonade, enjoy the cool-ish weather happening and if you can join us, let me know - it would be great to have your thoughts and ideas.

Until next time, I'll see you around the pages,
Martiel
