My point exactly. Now, I am glad to learn the notice has gone out in the BOG.? I appreciate the eagerness and desire to complete the project with excellence, I am willing to bet we all do....the only concern is that people didn't get enough notice to submit artwork, limiting the choices for the committee. Moving forward, may I suggest that everyone pass the notice along to the artists they know.? Quickly. This project will be a legacy, and deserves to be handled as such.? I bet it is in good hands. Good luck and thanks again. Ileana this committee wants to have a good amount of work completed, so yes, I have imposed a deadline. The request has also gone out in the Board O Gram. I put the announcement on the lists to give everyone a heads up. If you know someone who may be interested in volunteering for this project; you have my permission to forward the email to them. I believe the Committee has the eagerness and ideals to complete the project in a timely manner with a great deal of excellence.

One would presume if these folks are illustrators, they would already have completed some work and would have something they could email to the committee to 1) show their interest in working on the project and 2) show their ability to accurately draw illustrations. We're not asking for people to drop everything and create something new, which is why I said "please submit previous illustrations/artwork". As far as when the next Board meeting is - this committee wants to have a good amount of work completed, so yes, I have imposed a deadline. The request has also gone out in the Board O Gram. I put the announcement on the lists to give everyone a heads up. If you know someone who may be interested in volunteering for this project; you have my permission to forward the email to them.

Surely something as important as the Illustrated Standard cant be rush in 2 weeks.........I don't think this is enough time for artists to submit their work. Sheesh.... mail services alone are a problem. I am no artist, but my children are, and they take pride, and time, with their work. We do have a lot of talented people in the membership, however with the e-mail system being so bad the last few days, most wont even see this notice for a few days. How about placing an ad in the Review? That will secure more artwork submissions. Just an observation, and maybe a suggestion, that the deadline needs to be extended. The next board meeting is not until the National, so there is really no rush. How that say goes.....everything worth it is worth waiting for? <G> And Thank You to you and your committee for taking on this task. Hopefully you get lots of assistance from the artist to make it what we all hope for. Ileana In a message dated 8/10/2008 11:51:23 A.M.
