Many thanks to Gary Merkel for extending his stay in Vancouver long enough for

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Potters Guild of B.C. has
received it's first major support grant in our history. The federal government,
through Pat Carney's office (Van Centre) has granted us approximately $38,000.00
to cover the salaries of three persons for approximately 8 months. The positions
are for an arts administrator, a curatorial assistant, and a ceramic technician/
workshop supervisor. This grant is an unemployment top up program, and all
applicants will have to be receiving or registrered for unemployment to qualify.
The program will then top up their benifits so that they receive an excellent
wage and valuable work experience. Our Granville Island facility is definitely
helping our credibility and this program will assist us tremendously in estab-
lishing a terrific centre for the ceramic arts here in B.C. I would just like

to thank Angela Squires and Coralie Triance for their continuous work and support
in applying for this program. We are anxious to receive applications or inquiries
for these positions as soon as possible. Send your resume to David Zawaduk

at the guild office. Congratulations to us all!
