********************************************************************************

General

1. David announced that he is stepping down as the chair of the SAS, effective February 2006. He will be missed very much. BIG THANKS to David for his years of service to SAS. We will be looking for someone to volunteer to lead the organization. We discussed the future of SAS and it was decided the Steering Committee would develop a questionnaire so that all members have an opportunity give their input on that future.
2. SAS received a nice thank you note from the de Young for the $2183.50 that was donated from the Hall of Flowers 2004 Silent Auction.
3. Inner Sunset Art Walk: Several artists participated in this event and it was generally successful. May be an annual event.
4. Art Span Open Studios, Sunset District: Participating artists thought Open Studios were successful due to the distribution of the brochure designed by Steve Dehlinger and individual artists mailing lists/signage. There was a conclusion that the Art Span fee of $165 was not worth it.
