you consider ican has 101 members.
The new committee consists of
Chair-Helen Noone

Ordinary Member– Renata Weiss
Cathy Clerks has volunteered to look after Old Court House
Exhibitions, she accepted.
We need someone to step up and take on role of
Media and Marketing person.

Everyone is busy with their everyday lives, as members of the
committee know, three of us are dealing with terminally ill
parents/partner and one has two small children, so please don’t tell
us that you are time poor.

Future Meetings
will take on a new/old look.
The committee has decided to go back to our old meeting format, where
members are more involved with the day to day running of ican and
decision making.
Each month we will have an informative talk
October will be on our Insurance, it is your best interest to attend
Committee meetings will be at 5.30 and General meeting at 6pm
Don’t forget November meeting is at Redpoint with supper provided.

Frustration level 150%

From your chairperson Helen

Here we are at our A.G.M. already,
I hope we managed to see you there. We really need your help to keep this
organization going. There are positions that need filling so if you
are not at the meeting
and you can take on a job, please give us a call, we will be happy to
hear from you.
Our ican @7 Gallery is doing well with the percentage of sales each
month getting
better all the time. More people know where we are and are coming back for
things that they saw on a previous day. With more people helping we
are open oftener now and that is a good help. If you haven`t been
already why not come along and have a look, the Saturday Art event
evening is an especially good time to come, That is on the second
Saturday of the month at 2pm.
