Hi to all the members!
Saturday November 9th, Livessence has booked the Painting and Drawing room all day, 930 to 5 pm for the benefit of its members. Cost for the day is the same $10. Drop in is $15.
Did you know we have a Christmas show coming up in the RCA Galleria, based on Dance? Show title and all the juicy details will be coming soon. Ralf, please call home.
We have Donnalee booked for the morning session, and she will be in gorgeous belly dance outfits in order for you to take advantage of creating work from the live model for the show in the Galleria in December. The afternoon can be reserved for working if you wish, or if enough people request it, I can ask Donnalee to stay or arrange another model dancer.
That Saturday also happens to be the Saturday of the For the Love of Art Almighty, the Christmas show at the RCA. This show is always well attended, and all members are encouraged to come out to the painting and drawing room to work – the curtains will be open, so we will be on display.
Perhaps a few members can work out in the hallway as well to activate that space. You are welcome to bring a smaller piece or two priced to sell, and who knows, you might get lucky! If you don’t put it out there, you won’t know, right? Bring an easel or two as well, to display, as hallway space for hanging is at a premium and any extra will not be available.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. Incidentally, the new webpage is up and live, and I’d be happy to create a member page publish some images for those members who do not yet have a member page. Send them along to this email! All the best, Julia
Please note that we will do a painting change in the RCA hallway on Saturday, October 26 during the morning session. Please bring 1 or 2 paintings to be hung. Thank you.
Hi to all, the Livessence webpage has been updated. If you would like to have your own member artist page on the site, please send three images and a biography back, and I will make it so. Those who have submitted pics for artwalk will have pages already with three images – I just need the biography. The website is a blog, so you are welcome to write an article and send to this address as an email and it will get posted up. Yes, you can include pics with your blog entry. Any questions, please send me a note back! You are free to create a user id and interact on the site as well. All the best, Julia
Great News I just found out we have been juried in so get your paintings ready for August 16 when I need to have the titles, medium, size and price!!!! Our size of venue for now has been limited to 200 Square Feet this year so we can take no more than 3 paintings per person at this time. If we find out we have more space that will change. Anyone in the group can show, not just the 10 people who submitted works for jury. I will send out full details of what is required in the next week. Jaine Buse Chairperson for Art Walk Livessence

PROPOSED BYLAW AMENDMENTS
Resolution # 1
The following change is proposed:
Be it resolved that the following clause be added to the Bylaws of the Society as of June 8th, 2013 under a new part, Part 13 – Indemnification, as Section 63, 64, 65 and 66:
“Part 13 – Indemnification
63. The Society shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each person who may serve or who has served at any time as an officer, director, or employee of the Society (the “Indemnified Party”) against all expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation, counsel fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes, penalties and settlement payments, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which he or she may become involved by reason of his or her service in such capacity if:
• the Indemnified Party acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Society; and
• in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful.
64. The determination of any action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or otherwise shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Society or that the Indemnified Party did not exercise the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person or, with respect to any criminal or administrative action or proceeding, that the Indemnified Party did not have reasonable grounds to believe that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful.
65. The indemnification provided hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder. The right of indemnification under this Part 13 shall be in addition to and not exclusive of all other rights to which any person may be entitled.
66. This Part 13 constitutes a contract between the Society and the Indemnified Party. No amendment or repeal of the provisions of this Section which adversely affects the right of an Indemnified Party under this Section shall apply to such person with respect to those acts or omissions which occurred at any time prior to such amendment or repeal.”
Meeting Closed: 2:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jaine Buse
Secretary
