Greetings and wishing you a happy holiday season, PSBA members!
Greetings from the PSBA President, book artists and friends!
I hope you are having a joyful holiday season with whatever delights your hearts. Our PSBA board has been dreaming and planning for 2024. We are full of gratitude for the financial donations and volunteer participation that our members have offered this past year. Because of you all we can continue to grow and learn and exhibit our work to a responsive audience.
Take a look at the PSBA calendar to see some of the programs coming up in December. We are looking forward to the annual membership meeting and a rich selection of classes and events next year. You will be hearing more about these soon.
Meanwhile, have a peaceful and joyous holiday time.
Sally Alger, President, PSBA
