Hello members
Well, it seems that the website caught a virus or something else that’s just as sinister and has been flat on its back for this week. I have not received word when it might be back up but at least email is still working.
If you are trying to pay your membership via PayPal you’ll have to wait, or do it by old fashion snail mail with a check – – – or pay in person with cash or check at an upcoming meeting. Please do not send cash to me in the mail. The mailing address is:
WAAL
℅ Chuck Zelms
823 Sycamore Ridge Ct
Powell, OH 43065
If you are participating in the Mill Run exhibit and have not paid your membership and web gallery fee, if applicable, or the show fee, you can pay for it all with one check when you pay your Mill Run exhibit fee. Please make sure to give show payments to the show chair. The person accepting your payment will make a clear note that you are paying for more than just the exhibit entry fee. They will let me know – or I will chase them down. Or you can write multiple checks and send to multiple people – – – it’s your choice.
The plan is to do the next announcement on or about Sept 7. It all depends on how good my internet connection is.
Don’t forget, there is this new email address for WAAL membership!

I received this summary from her friend and fellow member Geno Shifrin. Positive vibes to Phyllis!
In March 2017, Phyllis fell and broke her hip. In addition, she has had a progressive case of Parkinson for over 10 years. She had surgery to repair her broken hip after she fell. From that point on, she has been declining physically and mentally. In December 2017, she passed out due to an inoperable heart condition.Since December 2017 she has been in a nursing home in hospice care. Her mobility has declined and she’s now confined to a wheel chair.

>>>> Another member exhibit
I wanted to send a reminder invitation to the Grandview “Hop” this Saturday (August 25), where I will be with my work at the First Merchants Bank (1460 Grandview Avenue) from 5 to 9:00 PM. For parking I suggest one of the surrounding streets, like Ida Avenue. I have 24 pieces on display in this nice space and there will be wine and snacks- I look forward to an enjoyable time!
Both that exhibit and the one on the second floor of the Worthington Municipal Building (6550 High Street) are up for just one more week, through August 30 See attached for hours. Thanks for your interest!
All best, Fred R.
