[crw-talk] Old Main Display

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Hello Sue and CRW members,

We did it!  I just finished labeling the pieces for the Old Main Gallery 
and I counted up 122 pieces, and at first I dared hope for 100.  Later I 
decided 120 would be a nice number to shoot for and you came through.  
But the turning point was the meeting on Saturday where about 50 more 
came in.  Plus the ones I have at home of my own.  Many members sent 
pieces that are for display only but by and large we have a lot of 
pieces that are for sale. I priced them from $15 (one item) to the heavy 
hitters such as Duane Hill, he has a beautiful ash platter for sale at 
$300.  I did take some up-pricing liberties with a few pieces to keep 
them about equal to others.  I did not price anything lower than marked.

Next time any of you see Denis Falch, be absolutely certain to thank him 
for his kind donation of about 20 pieces to the club. They are to be 
sold at Old Main or some of our other events and the proceeds go to the 
club treasury.  His very unique and finely turned pieces are a credit to 
his design and craftsmanship; and source of inspiration to all of us.

I believe a few more pieces will be coming in between now and set up, 
February 26th.  If you decide you want to display any more pieces, get 
them and and a list of each piece and it's price or marking "not for 
sale" to Bob Raasch, Dan Check, Ken Critzman or myself by set up time.

If you want to see the display, attend an event at Old Main during the 
month of March.  They offer a variety of musical and theatrical events 
and have a gallery where different artists display their works each 
month.  Contact Sue Byom at the email above, she will be all too happy 
to give you information.

Thanks for the show of support, John
