PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Members,
It is an honor for me to serve as President of NAWA Florida Chapter for 2010-2012. Welcome back to all of our “snowbirds” and to everyone else, congratulations on surviving the warmest summer in the history of South Florida!
I?d like to thank Bernice Harwood for her committed and capable leadership as President of the Florida Chapter for the last four years. We are fortunate to have her continued support as Exhibition Chair for this season and next. As a result, our exhibits are committed through 2012 including a joint show with National at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach next year.
Our new Board of Directors is in place and I look forward to working with this talented group of artists in the coming months.
SAVE THE DATE - Our ?rst board meeting, followed by a general meeting and educational demo, will take place on Thursday, December 9th at the Cornell Museum of Art & History. A separate notice will be sent to all members.
Our web site http://www.nawa?.com re?ects our new board members' positions and contact information. Twenty ?ve members currently have their artwork on our portfolio page and I would like to see that number increased to 100% participation.

The Florida Chapter of NAWA has been involved in giving Scholarships to graduating high school art students toward the college of their choice since its inception. We plan to continue this worthwhile tradition.
A new member directory will be printed and mailed to all NAWA FL members this year.
I hope that everyone has entered our ?rst show of the season titled “Illusions” which will take place at the Crest Theatre Galleries at Old School Square in Delray Beach. It runs from November 3rd through January 20, 2011 with an opening reception and awards presentation on Wednesday, Nov. 10, 6pm-8pm.
Also, do take advantage of the many exhibition opportunities presented through our

I look forward to a great season together.
Emalee Andre
