December print competitions delayed
As most Society Associates who compete in the Print Division Competition know, our December meeting was canceled because of venue issues. Bates Tech was closed, and the fire hall was preempted by Pierce County so they could use the meeting room as their command center during the major wind storm.
With no place to meet, the competitions were postponed until the regular January meeting.
