Catalogue News

Blogger was updating last night when I got home from the Tucson Pima Arts Council Grants Committee meeting. I stopped after for groceries. So, here is yesterday's news.

The Changing the World One Thread at a Time catalogue has had it's first hard copy printed. Nine copies of the digital document were distibuted to committee members. The format of the meetings is a three step process. During the first step artist's may speak and make their plea. The second step is considering the caliber and extent of the documentation of the application and a yea or nay on even considering funding. The third step consists of re-evaluating the requests that escaped the carnage of documentation consideration. By the time all had been decided and the meeting was adjourned it was 7:30 MST in the US.

So, a little help was forthcoming to assist in paying the gentleman who wrote all the code to create a digital catalogue. The following weeks will continue a tenacious search for matching funds. Any volunteers will be gladly welcomed.

I will be speaking to a news paper reporter this morning. He kindly gave me a full, front page spread, in the Living section of the Green Valley News on November 25, 2005. Today we will be working on a story to ensure good attendance for the opening on the 17th of February, next week. It's an important piece of marketing as now not only Green Valley and Tubac, the whole of south east Arizona is flooded with snowbirds.

No pictures from yesterday, so I will show you my faithful companions, The Snoozie Sisters. Sadie is a grey tiger with white; Alice has black and brown stripes.
