			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><br clear="all">Hi Everyone</div>
<div>Christine has stepped down as the manager of the art in the hallway at the RCA. Thank you Christine for the work you&#39;ve done in getting us on track so that art work is changed on a regular basis. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have now taken over that position from Christine so if you have any questions please direct them to me in the future. Due to weather and a whole variety of reasons many people were not able to come to the picture exchange last Wednesday evening so if you want to exchange your pictures during the next few weeks you may do so at your convenience. Please email me so that I know you&#39;ve done it but if you can&#39;t don&#39;t worry for this time it will stay on the wall until the next exchange. Once I get back I will set up a schedule and it will always happen on a Saturday morning before the drawing session. </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone. There seems to be some people who can&#39;t make it tonight for personal reasons and also because it&#39;s crazy winter out there today and it may not let up soon. So as I have stated in past emails is that you don&#39;t HAVE to come on the exact time and date specified. This is just for your convienience. You may want to come one day before or within the week of the switch but just send me an email or leave a voicemail or tell another member. It&#39;s always nice to try to get everyone there on the same time to switch out but we all are busy people and sometimes mother nature may not lend a helping hand. After this evening I will no longer be organizing the art hall switch over so pls send your emails and phone calls to Livessence if you have a question about the switch over. If I don&#39;t answer my phone pls just leave a message once. There is no need to call my number several times over. I work full time and I may not be readly available to return your call or answer. Thanks again and safe travels tonight&#8230;</div>
