We had a wonderful celebration last evening, our annual Patio Party.  This year we had an extremely entertaining Awards ceremony, complete with fun gag gifts for the awardees (who had to be present to win) - thanks to Sara Spence and Judy Johnson. In addition, pretty much everyone present was given a small beautifully glazed ceramic heart, created by our own CAC Studio Manager, Judy Johnson, in her spare time! Oh yes - we also had plenty of great Chinese food from Tomi Restaurant - kudos to Jean Chen and Sara Spence. Photos of some of the fun are below.

In other news - next week our new fiscal year will begin: on Wednesday July 1, to be exact. If you haven't renewed your membership in CAC, now is the time to do so - before the end of July, if you plan to stay current, keep your locker, etc. Simply come to the studio and you'll find membership forms on the sign-in table. (Dues are $10 and lockers are another $10 - checks only, please!)

Finally - our air conditioning hasn't been fixed yet, but at least the process has begun. No ETA yet, sorry to say. Stay tuned..

Our air-conditioning is going to be fixed, starting this month. It's been very hot this week, so that is really good news. It means that the studio will be closed one day - Wednesday June 24th - but it's worth it. NOTE: Unfortunately it will take longer than one day for the work to be completed - check this space for more information as it becomes available!

In other news, the current Orientation class will have its last session next week, Wednesday, June 17. There a lots of people with great energy and creative ideas in it, and most will become new members of our club starting next week - - we certainly welcome them! Some photos of the class are below.

Last but not least, the Rossmoor Flea Market will happen on Saturday June 20, and our studio will be open for the public to come in and browse and hopefully take home some nice ceramic pieces. Members are encouraged to sign up & show their work in the studio then, if so inclined!
