ABOUT THE NEW MWA ART GALLERY & AUCTION:
STEP ONE: Our original quotation to mail out the certified letter to residents was not accurate. Instead of a $500. cost we have been informed by USPS that it will be closer to $1900. to complete the mailing. Because of this change our meeting to address the envelopes scheduled on August 20th was postponed till more funds are raised. In order to do this we are forming the "Fund Raiser Committee" to support the "MWA Art Gallery Auction" and other activities so we can raise the $1900. needed for the certified letter mailing. Note: The "Envelope Addressing Committee" will be notified when adequate funds have been raised to complete the certified mailing.
STEP TWO: As prescribed by the Maui Planning Dept. we must obtain all 500 addresses of residents who are within a 500 sq. foot circumference of the MWA Art Gallery's location at 989 So Kihei Rd. and mail them a certified letter of the Maui Planning Dept's hearing to be held in September-October of 2005.
STEP THREE: The "MWA Art Gallery Auction" will require 8-12 volunteers. We're extending a special invitation to all MWA members and especially those artists who have been featured in either the recent "Avalene Gallery Show" or "Ano Ano Show" to volunteer their time or artwork and become an integral part of this exciting and historical event. please volunteer today.
