Treasurer Dollie McCall retires from the Board
It is hard to imagine a board meeting
without Dollie McCall’s
wit and wisdom. She is often the very first face a newcomer encounters at our meetings and exhibits. I
know she was the first person in the WAA I met. She was seated at the entry table at the first event I attended— the
Annual Exhibit back in 1990, then in the basement of the Masonic Temple on Church Street.
She was so friendly,
and right away encouraged me as an artist to join the organization. Dollie has served as treasurer for over 20 years. After
careful consideration, she has chosen to step down from her duties. Her wonderful assistant, Pauline Alarie, will be taking over as treasurer.
Please join us for the Annual Holiday
Party on December 8 where we will celebrate her many years of service to the organization, and share our gratitude for her
wonderful guidance and leadership through the years. I think I may have to encourage her to take up painting now that she
is retired from the board!
