CPS committee members meet at Gallery 53, Colony Street, Meriden, CT every six weeks or so to discus the direction and agenda of the society. If you would like to participate or simply attend, please contact our president Dick McEvoy at rmcevoy@mac-island.com for the next meeting date. Thank you.

PLEIN AIR DISCUSSION

-We briefly discussed ways to increase participation in the Plein Air sessions. Everyone felt it was an important benefit to offer, but we need to publicize more - provide more advanced notice, and also consider having some sessions on a weekday.

WEBSITE

Janet Cook provided an update with a "live" look at the site in progress, and it was met with strong approval by all who saw it. Some further suggestions for enhancements were to:

-Add Award Winners page from the major Renaissance Award winners

-Put P.R. release about the website in to the Pastel Journal, once the site is up and running

-Add statement that all members can provide comments directly back to Janet
