Jenna will be sending out official minutes. These notes are just the highlights.

• Spotlight Exhibition- Gallery was prepped and painted after the meeting. Catherine and the artists are installing their show. The Spotlight Exhibition starts Thursday, May 10th. For more information about the show click here.
• Lenawee Artists of All Ages Exhibition- The kid's art is available for pick up at the Gallery by the artists. Pi will be contacting all the artists to make sure everyone will be ready by the start of the exhibition. Janet Graham is almost done designing the card. This show is sponsored by the Stephen L. Hickman Family Foundation.
• Botanical Show- There will be no raffle for this show....maybe next year.
• Box Show- Kimberly will be contacting some businesses to see if we can get a sponsor. We also need a juror. We set up two dates for workshops at Adrian College to make boxes. Those days will be July 22nd and August 11th. More information will be provided by Jenna. REMEMBER...this show is only 2 weeks long, so boxes must be ready by the start of the show. It starts Sept. 6th.
• Gallery Future- We are still researching moving the gallery but it a SLOW process. We are still moving forward with this goal.
• Lenawee Live- We are waiting for an approved prospectus before we can move forward. More information will be provided soon!
• Gallery Sitting Teams- Now that Bethany Camarati's internship is over we are going back to gallery sitting teams. I schedule Thursday nights. Kimberly schedules Friday mornings. Pi schedules Friday nights. Saturday team leader is still under discussion.
• Sponsorships- Kris Schmidt is doing a great job at finding sponsors. She was responsible for securing the Stephen L. Hickman Family Foundation sponsorship for the Lenawee All Ages Exhibition. She also has helped out with three sponsors for the Botanical Show. They are Shaffer's Nursery, Beaubien's and Barretts. Thank you Kris.
