Newsletter Update: At the last general membership meeting on 2/14/10 it was decided, in an effort to “go green,” to email the Dirty Palette. This will also save on printing & mailing.  The on-line newsletter will be in full color with links to more information such as call for entries and times for receiving & picking up artwork.  Emailing will begin with the next Dirty Palette. If you wish to continue to receive the Dirty Palette by US mail please call (650) 355-1894 and leave a message.  A limited number of copies will be printed for those who prefer to have the newsletter mailed.
