President's MessageE Communiqué - January 19, 2012Hello snowbirds and snowbounds... We need you (contact cvartscouncil@shaw.ca) CVAC needs a member to help with musical arrangements at PORTALS and throughout all of the work of CVAC. We want multi-genre activities and need the assistance of a musician in the know. If you haven't given to CVAC yet, this is your chance. We even have a small budget for this! Needed: Out there somewhere there are experts and CVAC needs their help; have you experience in successful private and corporate fundraising? Contact Judy Brayden asap. Another need: a member to help for two hour shifts with Saturday, Duncan Farmers' Market coverage March 10 and March 17th. Have you helped you arts council lately? Always need: members to consider a CVAC Board role. Looking to step up in a leadership role? Contact Judy Brayden for an invitation to see the CVAC team at work. We have one speaker, who speaks from the heart and without blame…and who comes to the table with solutions, not problems! If that's you, we need to hear from you! Lastly we need: a couple of Lake Cowichan members who can help out selling CVAC memberships, one summer Saturday night in balmy Lake Cowichan. Dates TBA. ************************************************************ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PORTALS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PORTALS, HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO PORTALS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (AND CVAC TOO)!!! Big day - Saturday, February 4th 2012 11:00 to 2:00 Come by and have a cupcake on CVAC on your way to the PORTALS show opening "Love, and the Beloved" and before visiting the Duncan Farmers' Market (in the ISC for the winter). ********************************************************** CVAC thanks you: A special thanks to all of the folks who for forty-three long years, have made CVAC strong. Many of those folks are being interviewed this month by CVAC member and professional writer, Veronica Scott. Watch for newspaper coverage: The Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show - an historic event! Thanks to Gail Robb, CVAC Youth Outreach Program coordinator. Congratulations on a great "studentworks" show. Thanks go to Shirley McGuinness, Don Fowlie, Glenn Spicer, Cim Mac Donald and Wendy Robison for their invaluable assistance from participants Watch for the work of these students in the Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show. "Student" will be indicated on labels. Thanks also to Why I Love Canada 2 committee members: Robert and Ann Radford, Somae Murray, Idit Wagner, Francoise Moulin Durham and Judy Brayden for your tremendous effort in planning the next phase of this community project. This year's plan will be on the website next week. The key is that it will need 15 - 20 cooperative groups to make it worthwhile. The teams will have an entire year to build, write, construct or create a happening that answers this question: "Why I Love Canada 2" (as in also). Open to all CVRD residents, families, schools, clubs, etc. More thanks to Mirror, Mirror contributors who bought a mirror and will be donating their creations to support the Cowichan Catch - A Lively Auction during the CVFAS April 25 - 29th and the Quw'utsun' Cultural Centre. Sophie VonHerrmann auction coordinator is hard at work planning the rest of this gala affair. Contact attention Sophie at cvartscouncil@shaw.ca for special invitees. We need to enlarge our guest list to include serious arts supporters! And finally a big thank you to Morgan Saddington, who is joining the CVAC paid staff team, sharing responsibilities with our beloved, Suzan Kostiuck. Morgan will assume the PORTALS team building and coordinating, while Suzan will maintain the lead as the PORTALS show coordinator and curator. CVAC Job sharing in the 21st century! *************************************************** A membership reminder: The best time to buy your CVAC membership is April 1st each year. This year we can take post-dated cheques from March 28 onward so that the Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show entrants can "paint two canvases with one stroke", so to speak, but otherwise…we cannot sell memberships for 12/13 before April 1, 2013. Desperate to buy a membership this time of year? - consider the three year options. Three year is $60. Single year is $25. Such a deal all around. No waiting this time. Renewing your membership on April 1 is the best option by far.
