Vancouver, B.C. te

V6B 1E5 .

NEWSLETTER @ctober 11,1977

Greetings;

I expressed the position in Septembers’ newsletter that the
Guild has now come of age and some more permanent goals are
necessary for the future.
This took the form at the last general meeting of my proposal
that a scholarship fund be set up by the Guild in the name

of "Olea Davis", and administered at the University of B.C.
Ceramics Department. Funds would come from the Hycroft sale.
It was agreed in principle that a scholarship fund should be
started, but further discussion is necessary in order to
decide how such a fund should be administered and to which
ceramic institution it should be directed.

Hopefully this will be discussed further at the next meeting.
