Happy New Year Inkshedders! I feel as though my reminders should come with sound effects, but you can fill in whatever effect you think is appropriate here! As membership dues cover January to December, we’re back down to list of one full member. Many people pay at the conference in May, but this does leave us unable to be sure what funding is available for graduate students at the conference before those students must commit to coming. It would be nice to separate the memberships from the conference attendance, so I encourage all of ou -whether you expect to attend the conference or not- to send in your dues early in 2006. Dues this year are $40 for regular membership and $20 for student or under/unemployed. The forms are in the latest issue of the newsletter. Or you can simply send your cheque made payable to “Inkshed at NSCAD” along with name, address, phone number and institutional affiliation to: Jane Milton Inkshed Treasurer 5163 Duke Street Halifax NS B3J 3J6 Thanks so much, and best wishes for a wonderful 2006, Jane. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To leave the list, send a SIGNOFF CASLL command to [log in to unmask] or, if you experience difficulties, write to Russ Hunt at [log in to unmask] For the list archives and information about the organization, its newsletter, and the annual conference, go to http://www.stu.ca/inkshed/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
