WCA DC Networking Day, April 5th

Below is the registration from for the 2008 networking day that the WCA of Greater Washington DC hosts. When I was a member of the Philadelphia Chapter I knew many women that looked forward to it each year and carpooled down for the weekend. We would have much farther to travel but the invitation has been extended us, if anyone would like to go. This year's presentations are centered on the theme, "Art & Your Audience: Maximizing the Artist-Gallery Relationship".

I converted the pdf registration form to a jpeg so I could post it here, it will print, a little fuzzy however. If you'd like the pdf, just email wcacharleston@yahoo.com
