The annual dinner meeting this year was Wednesday, June 6th, 2007.
We have some photographs of the event in case you could not make it there in person. You can click on any of the images on this page to view a larger version of it. Then, use the Back button on your browser to return to this page.
We are still looking for a Corresponding Secretary and
a Recording Secretary to take the minutes of our board
meetings. If you would like to volunteer for either of
the these positions, send us an email and we will be in touch.
We had an especially good year this past season with
many informative demonstrators. You can see photographs
and descriptions of our activities on other pages
of this web site.
Links to the other events for this season can be found
here
and links to previous seasons can be found in our
archives.
We are looking forward to next year being as informative
and fun as this year was.
It is easy to become a member of RAA. You do not
have to be a resident of Reading to join, in fact many
of our members reside in other towns and cities. Visit our
membership page
where you can find an application to join. Then, come
on down and join in the fun.
Jack Welch, an avid car collector, car restorer, and automotive
enthusiast, presented a program entitled, "A Photographic Presentation
on the Automobile as an Art Object and as an Art Subject." The
photographs showed the artistic value of cars through the years.
He showed us many photos of what he called, "Rolling
Sculpture", and indeed it was.
The annual dinner and meeting was held at the Hillview in North Reading
again this year. We have been holding the meeting there now for several years.
A small, but fun-loving group of members attended, as you can see in
the accompanying photographs.
The view from the dining room
is spectacular, entertaining us with sunsets that belong in
a painting. We enjoyed good food, good friends and good conversations
throughout the evening.
This meeting is the last official event
of the season for Reading Art Association. It serves as a business
meeting as well as a dinner, and we assemble to elect the officers
for our next season, which begins in the Autumn of 2007.
Tom has been elected to be our President for next year, and
Arthur has agreed to be Vice President again.
They both did an outstanding job this past season,
as did all the other members of the board and
the chairs of the events.
