Greetings Members of the 2012 Arts Association

Those of you who missed the recent party, missed a lot of good food and ‘artistship’.  Three people having birthdays celebrated with us turning a Holiday party into a BD party also – and we voted in new Officers.

The first official Board meeting of 2012 will be Monday, JANUARY 9th. at 6:00PM at the Arts Center.   #7 Cedarwood Dr.  (near the Lighthouse) Board meetings are ALWAYS open to membership. 

We will be seating our New Officers:
President – Michael Bodine
Vice President – Samantha Claar
Secretary – Doris Grieder
Treasurer – Sallie McClelland
Immediate Past President – Renee DeRossett

And saying “Thank YOU” to our Outgoing Officers:
President – Renee DeRossett
Vice President  – Richard Adams
Secretary – Kim Trammell
Treasurer – Sallie McClelland

The outgoing officers will be there to turn their respective reins over to the new officers.  Per the bylaws, Renee remains on the current Board to facilitate information from one Board to the next.  This is an opportune time to say a great big THANK YOU!  to these outgoing officers for the innumerable hours they have spent keeping us a viable arts organization.  Thank you each and everyone.. we are the sum of all our parts and you four have filled big shoes.  We appreciate you and all your hard work.   Continuity makes us stronger because then we aren’t reinventing the wheel – thank you each for your stated continued involvement in 2012… I know it is easy to run like all get out after the hours and effort expended last year.  I say again… we appreciate you and your contribution s of time, effort and money to keep us up and moving..

Volunteers for Committee Chairs 2012
Membership -  Chris Garbett
Hospitality – Joyce Paulson
Theater – Richard Adams
Education – Cheryl Martin and Annie Burke
Publicity – Vicki Smith Hammons
Work4Show – liaison to the Board – Sherri Simmons
By-Laws  – TBD

Committee Chairs report to the Officers on their areas of endeavor – as part of the Board of Directors, they vote on TAA business matters and help set  policy and direction for TAA.  They each need members to volunteer for their committees and help out.   The Work4Show group which presents the Art Show and Sales is a prime example of member involvement.  When the work that has to take place is spread among multiple people, the big reward is burnout avoidance..   Look at the Committees this year and volunteer to help on one that interests you.

2012 DUES ARE DUE..  TAA – PO BOX 2344 – TYB IS – GA 31328 -  $25.00 artist/person;  $40.00 Couple/Family;  $5.00 Senior (70 and above)   Click here to download TAA Membership Application 2012 (PDF) or call the office and we can mail one to you or arrange for you to pick one up at the Center.

It has been a pleasure to be a TAA member this last year.  We are going to have an incredible 2012 so I sincerely hope you will participate and use this association to further your art – your community involvement and share our dedication to making Tybee an Arts Destination!

We have 2 large community art projects planned for this year..

“Tybee Moons”  (see youtube film). http://youtu.be/TVptxkVU2t8  and see how this NC community has given a whole new lovely, dramatic, wonderland of light to the Holiday Season.. for Tybee the implications are year round.  Mary Ingalls heads up this workshop/individual participant classes – so get in touch with her @ maryingalls13@gmail.com – for particulars.

Newcomer Annie Burke is a Mosaic artist and will be having a “Mosaic Party”  to mosaic the TAA logo for our building.  A much larger plan for ‘mosaic-ing’ a public wall is in the works.. so watch for updates.

Happy New Year fellow artists and friends of art!
