The Manassas Art Guild held it’s annual meeting on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008. At this meeting, all members of the Board of Directors were up for re-election. In addition, the membership was voting on revisions of the MAG Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The following members of the Board were re-elected to their positions:

Shane Williams - President
Laura Lavarnway - VP
Michele Frantz - Secretary
Rob Burkhard - Treasurer
Roger Frey - Member-At-Large

In addition to the BOD election, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were voted on and passed with unanimous vote. The “new” AOI and Bylaws immediately went into effect. Since the Bylaws changed the BOD membership to a total of 7 members, there was a vote on the 2 “new” positions. The following members were elected to the positions:

Gerry Schaeffer - Member-At-Large, will be taking over Treasurer position following transition period with current Treasurer
Terri Branham - Member-At-Large

Following the annual meeting, the regular membership meeting was held with a Watercolor lecture and demonstration by Mike Flynn, President of Art Beat and former MAG Treasurer. Mr. Flynn demonstrated his style of watercolor painting by painting a landscape. Mr. Flynn also commented on and answered questions on watercolor and watercolor techniques.
