The AAG May meeting will be held Monday, May 10 at the Aiken Center for the Arts. We will again forgo our social time and start the meeting at 7pm. We will continue to follow the ACA protocols for distanced seating and face coverings. In addition to our program we will also elect our board for next year. Members present either in person or via Zoom will considered eligible to vote. Due to some reshuffling of board members and those stepping off the board a total of six positions will be filled.
The slate of candidates for election are as follows:
President, Chris McKeel
Vice President, Karey Santos
Treasurer, John Gordon
Secretary, Brooks Brown
Publicity Director, Robbie Robb
Show Director, Pat Gericke
Board members continuing for the next year are:
Technology Director, Susanna King
Membership Director, Betsy Hughes
Program Director, Whitney Kurlan

I am going to use this piece by Brooks as an advertisement for submitting information about all the things within the art community that we are involved in along with pictures of our art to the newsletter. This is a great way to inform the membership and share our art. I am using this particular piece as the advertisement since I noted on Monday that it had been sold!
