The time is fast approaching for individuals to sponsor entries for
the
National Youth Exhibit. The entry form is in the September 2001
issue
of NeedleArts. If you have taught a youth to embroider, this
exhibit is a
great way to enhance their enjoyment of a medium that enriches all
our lives.
A wide variety of pieces are needed to show others all the interests
and
abilities of youth. It is very important to remember NO ENTRIES
WILL BE
JUDGED. Every attempt will be made to exhibit as many pieces
as possible.
If there are more entries than can be exhibited, selection will be
made by
lottery.
The exhibit is also a great way to earn national publicity for your
chapter
and your region. Along with the name and city of the exhibitor,
exhibits
will include the name of the sponsoring member, their chapter, and
their
region. A publicity release will be sent directly to the local
paper of each
youth.
The exhibit will be shown May-August 2002, and it is hoped many youth
and
their family members will make the trip to Louisville to see their
work
displayed. Complete details are in the September 2000, page 62,
issue of
NeedleArts and will be repeated in the Second Quarter 2001, President’s
Mailing.
I am counting on many entries from EACH Region.

Chairman, Youth Program
