A warm welcome to our new member
John Roth.
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ORGANIZED PERSON!
Help MSA by becoming the Personal Gallery Coordinator - and show your work
on a gallery wall at MSA for free.
This is a highly valued ongoing job. Keep track of who is renting what wall section. Inform members of the
next rental period. Sign up members who want to rent walls space. You can do most of the work from
home on your own computer. The perk with this job is that you get a wall space without charge, for so long
as you keep this job.
