May 2025 President’s Letter
Hello Kaligrafos members, As we wind down our fiscal year I want to encourage each person to ask how they might serve the guild and our love for the art of calligraphy. This guild would not exist without the great executive board, committee chairmen and our many contributing members. Others will soon step into board positions as we begin the May meeting with our annual election. This year we vote for Vice President and Treasurer. Our nominating committee has presented June Baty for Vice President and Sherry Barber for Treasurer.
As you all know, Jeri Wright has moved to East Texas. We will all miss seeing Jeri on a regular basis and benefiting from her tireless contributions to Kaligrafos. I wish you the best in your move Jeri! Know that you will be missed! One of my favorite things to do with calligraphy is flourishing and we have one of the premier flourishers presenting Calligraphic Designing to us this month, Linda Schneider. Linda takes flourishing to the next level. Since Linda lives far away she will be presenting from her studio via Zoom but we still want to see you at the meeting in person at our usual spot.
Remember to bring your checkbook (or pay online with the PayPal button) to renew your membership dues. When you sign up for workshops or pay dues remember that if you do use PayPal, the processing fees are part of the charge now. To avoid PayPal fees you can pay by cash, check or Zelle (treasurer@kaligrafos). It is probably good to go ahead and get that taken care of now so that you don’t forget during the summer and miss having your name printed in the 2024-25 directory.
Have a great summer and we will see each other again in the fall!
Randy Stewart
Kaligrafos President
