FAS Members Forum on January 28
2 pm, MMAP Gallery
A meeting of the Folk Arts Society Members' Forum will take place at the MMAP Gallery, 2nd floor of the Arts and Culture Centre, at 2:00 pm on Saturday, Jan. 28th. Chaired by Jean Hewson, the Members' Forum invites members of the FAS, and anyone who takes part in FAS activites, to come and participate in an active discussion focussing on FAS events and issues. This is your opportunity to give feedback, offer suggestions, and meet the people who are actively involved in producing the Folk Arts Society's events.
One of the items up for discussion is the proposed changes to the FAS bylaws.
If you would like to add an item to the agenda or discuss an issue in advance of this meeting, please contact Jean Hewson (phone. 722-2863).
