EDITOR'S CORNER

Well, one month on the job and except for locking myself out of my
truck with the engine running, in a no-parking zone, in front of a fire
hydrant on Granville Island when dropping off the mail for the Guild,
things seem to be going fairly well. Thanks go to Jan, Kaoru, Lea and
Tam for general help and support and also to Gillian McMillan for
doing the newsletter mailing in January.

About the election and enclosed ballot: We hope the choice of a
mail-in ballot or voting at the AGM will make the election as
democratic as possible. Please refer to the instructions on page 4
entitled Election “94 on how to use your mail-in ballot,

Regarding the newsletter: | could use help in two areas: content and
production. If you would like to help with the mailing please call me.
We usually do the mailing on the morning of the first Friday of the
month, but if there is another time you could help let me know and [
will see if things can be changed. The newsletter is here to help you
communicate with each other, If you have ary item that you would
like to pass on to other potters please let me know. “Any item" means
stuff like a book that excited you, a pottery video you saw, an
exhibition you visited, a trick you discovered that saves time in your
studio, any clay related event that is happening in your part of the
province, Basically, anything that you think someone else might enjoy.
Short pieces are best but longer, in-depth articles are always welcome,
This is your community newsletter, help me make it as useful as it can
be for you.
