NOTES FROM SAM

It's hard to believe but the Christmas season is upon
us again. This is the time of the year when there
dorsn't seem to be enough time to make another dozen
plates and we measure time by number of kiln loads
and hours.

The consolation ts that after the dust settles (literally),
we can relax and spend some time with family and
friends and reflect on the personal highlights and
accomplishments of the year, That ts the time 1 look
forward to. It is on that note that | would like to wish
everyone a merry Christmas and and happy holiday
season. | would also like to thank the membership,
the gallery staff, the board members for their support,
and especially Jan for her patience and thoughtful
suggestions. I hope to see you at our AGM and the
Walter Ostrom workshop in January.

Sam Kwan, President
