Members received notification on the proposed changes to the constitution in the February issue of The Grey County Historian. Of course, only members will be able to vote.

At 2:00 p.m., Rod Saunders will exhibit a collection of the Early Artists of Grey County. Grey County has attracted artists to this beautiful county for many years. Here is your opportunity to view and learn more about these artists. Some of the featured artists will be Kate Andrew, Clare Bice, Allan Cameron, Johnson sisters - Flo Campbell, Annie Rogers & Agnes Sinclair; Nettie Douglas, Chuck & Margo Finley; John Geerts, Garnet Hazard, Robert Kemp, George Thomson and Horace Vick.

A panel of painting enthusiasts will provide particulars about some of these artists. The afternoon will also feature a special display of the paintings and sculpture of the late John Landon, Sr.
