We are thrilled to announce that this year’s annual meeting will be held at the beautiful Tamarack Resort in Tamarack, Idaho, near Donnelly. Your Board’s goal for the past couple of years has been to move the annual meeting around the State and it is our hope that this centrally located resort will get you as excited as we are about this gathering. This will be a great opportunity to make new members, renew old friendships and advance your artistic skills. Check out Tamarack Resort’s website: https://tamarackidaho.com
