ANNOUNCEMENT
Mad About Art! is pleased to provide monthly programs for our membership. We endeavor to have space available for everyone interested in a particular program. However, we have noticed a trend of members signing up for events and not showing or canceling at the last minute. Because some of the programs are at artists studios, space is often limited. Please do not sign up for a program until you are certain of your schedule and if you need to cancel please do so at least a week prior to the event date. Registering for a program the moment the newsletter arrives and then cancelling a day or two before prevents other members from attending. We look forward to seeing you at future programs!
