Don Andrew's 3-day Workshop on the Figure in Landscape, is scheduled for Jan 25, 26 & 27, 2012. It will be held at the Clarion Hotel, 1200 SE Federal Hwy in Stuart. Time: 9 am to 4pm. The total cost of the workshop will be $225 (Non AAMC member cost will be $250). There is a 25 student maximum, as per Don Andrews and we only have a few spots available. Important!

There will be a one hour break from 12 noon to 1pm for lunch. Complimentary coffee will be served in the morning and we have been given the ok to bring in donuts.

Dear Members,

The board has met and discussed ways to honor our longtime member Peggy Meissner.  To that end a meeting has been setup in early February with Diane Balogh Kimes at the Elliott Museum.  She has offered to help us find the best way to pay tribute to Peggy's long years of dedicated service to AAMC.

In order to fulfill this idea we will be collecting money at our monthly meetings. The "Giving Tree" will be placed on the 50/50 table with envelopes for you to place your donation. All monies received will be anonymous, kept in a separate fund and used toward this memorial.

Additionally it has been decided to contribute AAMC's half of the 50/50 to this fund until we have met our goal.

We welcome your suggestions for a way to keep Peggy's memory alive at AAMC.

Sharon Ferina
President
