| | Garage Sale Update
The original garage sale was started in order to get rid of all the stuff that had been collected, donated, dumped, and otherwise gathered in, around, and under the ASA building. This week, some bird figurines that have been in the office for ages were nominated for new homes. If you have information about where they came from or who they might belong to, please contact Kathy Cope. |  | If you or someone you know would like to teach a class, don't be afraid to ask questions about how to make it happen. If there is an instructor you'd like to have come, reach out! Tara will answer the scheduler@asaart.net email as soon as possible.
ASA does not set the fees for classes, but does deduct $10 per member, per day from the price set; $20 for non-members. Instructors should consider what they would like to make for their time, then add these fees to that amount.
Our members are eager for classes, so don't be shy! The class room is great for instruction of all type: painting, 3-D, textile, or something else fun. | |
