Symposium Potluck.

Saturday March 20th, from 6 pm
onwards at the Shadbolt Centre.

The Potter's Guild, with the help of

Assefa Kebede, will be organising a
potluck with a difference - we will
provide all the food - a vegetarian buf-
fet with a wide selection of ethnic fu-
sion dishes, including tea and coffee,
to take place after the symposium.
Everyone is welcome, including those
who were unable to attend the Sym-
posium. To make sure we have enough
food, we need everyone who wants to
join in to pre-register and send a
cheque for $20, made out to the Pot-
ter's Guild of BC and clearly marked,
both on the cheque and the envelope
"Symposium Potluck”. Beers and
wine will also be available. Many
thanks to Stephen and other out of
towners for this great suggestion. A
good opportunity to relax, mix and
mingle with other potters.

"Hold Your Shards"

The Lougheed Town Centre is once again
letting us hold our "Too Good for the
Shard Pile Sale" in the Mall. The sale will
be held in April 2004, so we will start
collecting donated pots now. All the funds
will go towards paying down the Potters
Guild debt. Thanks to the generosity of
our membership and free venue we sold
$5000.00 worth of pots at the last sale.
For information on delivery locations con-
tact:

Jinny at wwhitehead@shaw.ca
or:
Linda at lindadoh@telus.net

or

pots may be dropped offat the Shadbolt
Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
Burnaby, Sunday to Wednesday, 10am to
4pm. Ask for Jay or Linda in Ceramics.
When dropping off pots please leave your
name and address with the pots so we
know who to thank. If you would like to
volunteer to help set up and sell please
call Linda at 604-420-0415. We had a
lot of fun last time, the response was over-
whelming.

There are "buyers" going around
to the craft faires claiming to be
with the Justice Dept in Ottawa
and in town for a conference.
Their cheques look as real as you
can get, so much that my bank
accepted without question. The
cheques say CANADIAN OR-
DER OF TRUTH AND JUS-
TICE. It is a fraud.

Fraud Warning

The Vancouver police say it has
been going on for about 2 years.
They have phoney ID and
badges, and they flatter and tempt
you with the promise of future
purchases of gifts for dignitaries.
