Hi everyone,

I had a phone call on Monday from Joan Ortiz, wife of Norman, the oil 
painter.  They are moving to an apartment and have artworks that cannot go 
with them.  They offered one to Clean North for a raffle, and invited me to 
go choose one.

So I now have an Ortiz in my living room.  Wanna do a raffle?  :)

I was thinking, great Christmas present!  It's also a lovely painting with 
a very "autumn'y" palette.

When?

At BOYD?  Oct 2 - Too soon, too much to do.
At our AGM?  Oct 22, might work out ok.  We could display it at BOYD, too.
Later?  A date all its own sometime this fall/winter?  My birthday is in 
November!  :)

It's worth $400 so we can sell $1000 worth of tickets, if I remember the 
formula correctly (I will check).  The hoops at city hall have become more 
numerous and smaller, though, so there would be a teensy bit more effort to 
get legal.

Your thoughts appreciated, soonest, as I'm about to go to press with the 
paper newsletter (really am!) and would love to include this.

muchas gracias
K
