Del Ray Artisans 2019 Annual Member Meeting with Elections

Thursday, October 24, 2019 from 7-9pm

We have a full agenda planned for you during the Annual Member Meeting! This will be your opportunity to hear information about all the shows planned for 2020. The President will present a special message about the organization. The Annual Meeting also includes elections for the 2020 Board of Directors, and a light supper will be served. Please RSVP to Kathryn Brown at Secretary@DelRayArtisans.org to help the organizers plan the food and beverage quantities.

Vote in Person or by Proxy

All members are invited to attend, and “Members in Good Standing” will be able to vote—an excellent chance to renew your membership if you haven’t already.

If you cannot attend, we urge you to make a Proxy vote.
