    ASA Receives  Intel Grant

    Thanks to Active Volunteer


    Bill Cary  may be retired from Intel but he is anything but retired when it
    comes to his involvement with ASA, the Artists' Studio Association, in  
    Lincoln City.  For this non-profit group,  Bill is active and visible doing a
    variety of things. He is a board member and assists in  teaching
    children's art classes, writing grants, hanging art displays and even
    helping with maintenance and cleaning. In 2009  those activities qualified
    ASA to receive a matching grant of $580, donated by Intel, at a  value of
    $10 per hour.

    The “Intel Involved” program for employees and retirees is aimed at making communities
    around the world a better place to live, work and play. While the donation is not earmarked
    for any specific purpose, Bill expects that it will be used to offset costs associated with
    installing handicapped access to the ASA building.  Not one to slow down,  Bill is already
    well on his way to earning a second donation for 2010 and says that he is “proud to be
    involved” with this positive program.

                                Give a little (time) and get a lot (of satisfaction)

We need you

    We are asking that ASA members and frequent users of the ASA studio and facilities pitch in and
    donate a little time to help maintain our work space.

    Each week,on an alternating basis, an ASA member or one of our partners in the Co-op Gallery will
    clean the studio, kitchen and restroom.  ASA will provide all cleaning supplies (thanks Leoda).  All it
    will take just an hour or so each week.  If we spread the opportunity around it will not involve much of
    any one person's time.  

    A sign-up sheet has been posted in the studio on the bulletin board between the kitchen and
    restroom. Every other week one member of ASA or the Gallery will sign up to do the cleaning duties.
    Tuesday seems to be the best day to do the work but it can be done on any day at your convenience,
    just designate which day you are volunteering for so it is clear to everyone and we don't do double
    duty.

    If you can't make it in to the studio to sign up, call Bill at 503-965-3683.  He will get you on the calendar
    for you.

You are the most important part of this fantastic organization -
                                              
                                                  please step-up,  pitch-in,  roll up your sleeves and do your part.


     

    A Pitch -- Volunteering is critical to keeping ASA the friendly, personal art group it is. We get a bunch of special perks for
    our ASA membership: opens studios, the ability to display our art for sale at a very modest price, art paper sold to us at
    a huge discount over retail, art classes & workshops at a very affordable price, a place to meet & enjoy other people
    who love art.  If WE don't volunteer and do our part -- why should anyone else?  Many hands make light work.
