Made of Clay
Publicity Committee

I'd like to thank everyone for their public-
ity ideas, After several brainstorming ses-
sions, the new committee, Sharon Grove,
Sheila Morissette, and Lowisa Lichmann
have implemented the following: cinema
advertising at Fifth Avenue and Park cin-
emas during April; 3000 postcards distrib-
uted to cafes, restaurants, bars and shops in
Kitsilano, the West End, Commercial Drive
and central Vancouver, plus lots of press
releases to local newspapers, radio and TY
stations. The best way of advertising 15
word of mouth; do spread the word and
invite all your fends,

We are always looking for more volun-
teers to help; if you are interested and have
a spare couple of hours, please call.

WHY CAN’TI TALK TOA
HUMAN BEING AND NOT A
CALL BOX?

[thas been apparent for some time that as
the Guild grows in complexity, the hours
that we can afford to pay for administra-
tion do not meet the Guild's needs. To
allow staff to focus on administration,
phone queries will be answered in the
following way:

Gallery: Gallery Manager, Kimecha, an-
swers calls relating to Gallery business,

Guild general questions: a Hoard mem-
ber will deal with all Guild related calls.
Guild calls will be collected daily, You
will get areal person; you just may have to
wait a little while. For the next few months,
| will be doing this.

Other Guild questions: Throughout the
newsletter we have noted whom to call
with specific questions. For example, Jim
Stamper and Maggi Kneer can be called
directly about workshops. Ron Feicht an-
swers queries about Made of Clay.

When in doubt: Call any Board member;
list with numbers is in every newsletter.

So call in, leave a message, the time and
day that you called, and we'll get back to
you as s00n as possible.
