For health and other reasons a few members will not be standing for re-election on the ASPI committee. All members are urged to consider their ability to participate in the running of the Artist’s Society of Phillip Island. All committee and leadership positions are open at the AGM to be held in August (date and venue to be confirmed).
If you or someone you know (not necessarily a current member—but must be a member by the AGM) could and would like to contribute to the vitality of our Society please discuss the roles expected to be filled with a current committee member.
Jobs we know are looking for new office bearers include:
These jobs are not onerous for people with the right skills/interests and there are plenty of others (including previous office-bearers) to help you become acclimatised. Please consider volunteering for one of these tasks, or maybe you can think of another person who would be suitable. Remember, you only get out of an organisation what you are prepared to put in.
N.B. Office bearers do not have to be practising artists—only interested in the arts.

President’s Notes, April 2010.
Hi Everybody,
The ASPI Easter exhibition was another success, with over 800 punters turning up for a perv. It looked wicked, with lots of space between exhibits.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, reality continues its onward march. A good example of this is the announcement by the Treasurer, Ms Susan Brereton, that she will be retiring at the end of the financial year. As Sue is also the Membership Secretary, her departure will create a big gap in administration. ASPI will implode with- out someone to fulfil these 2 vital roles. Think about it.

Cup Weekend Exhibition – Mini Exhibition Theme
Cup weekend may seem a long way away but it is amazing how fast time flies. It is for this reason that we are giving you
plenty of time to start working on at least one piece for the mini exhibition.
This year the theme will be: “Follies”.
If you want some ideas of what this could entail then just consult your nearest dictionary and and let your imagination do the rest!

Ibis Writers Workshop
Venue: Railway Station Museum, next to Safeway, Murray Street, Wonthaggi

Cost: $10 (includes lunch and a few goodies to take home).
Bookings: Email Marian Quigley: marianquig@gmail.com by Monday May 24
A local historical society can be seen as a musty old place filled with miscellaneous paraphernalia from past eras that have lost their meaning. Or it can be seen as a place of treasure and wonder if only we know how to enter and use it.
Writers – whether you are novelists, biographers, historians, poets, playwrights, memoirists – are invited to participate in a workshop offered jointly by Ibis Writers and the Wonthaggi Historical Society which aims to show the richness and texture of a place that lends itself to Story.
