Members of the Thompson Valley Potters Guild attending the
FingerPlay Exhibition.

The FingerPlay Exhibit was in Kamloops Sept. 4 to 27. The
Kamloops volunteers really outdid themselves and I am thrilled!

I especially want to thank the great group of people from the
Thompson Valley Potters Guild who interfaced for PGBC, and
volunteered their hours to monitor the show for the duration, The
show area was not secured and it was necessary to have people there
during opening hours. The City of Kamloops provided a huge donation
and all round support.

Initially, I worked with Barbara Berger, manager of culture and
heritage for the City of Kamloops. Barbara was enthusiastic from
Day One, and was able obtain a $1,000 donation, from the City of
Kamloops which was used as our initial funding for the printing of our
catalogue for the exhibition. Without this donation we would not have
been able to print a catalogue. Barbara was taken ill very suddenly last
month. Cara Garden stepped in to take over. It was a huge undertaking
for Cara who went full speed to get the invitation/announcements
designed and printed. She did a great job on short notice. Cara liaised
with Jeanne Hungar, our representative in Kamloops. Jeanne is with
the Thompson Valley Potters Guild and she send her thanks as well:

“Thank you to Michelle Finlayson, Karen Palmer, Margaret Stewart-
Smith, Lynne Woodruff, Sheila Macdonald, Jody Tippett and Ann
Eggleton for volunteering their time towards the FingerPlay Exhibition.
They monitored the show during the exhibition hours.

Thank you to Lorel Sternig for bringing some expertise and encouragement
to the exhibition set up. Also, thank you Luba Baron for dropping in and
spending the next six hours working with us. Thank you Bonnie Keats,
Rhona Ames, Karen Palmer and Lorel Sternig for allowing your work to
be displayed.

And, BIG thank you to Karen Palmer for agreeing to work with me from
the beginning until the end when it is crated and sent on its way.”
