Lakewood Art Walk Spring 2008: Ruth Koenigsmark provided members with a handout of all the businesses presently on board for the May 17th MAMA LIA art walk, noting that the bolded names had paid their fee to be part of the art walk.

Also mentioned that Roman Ricci Hair Salon should be contacted as well. Ruth Koenigsmark advised that Art walk hours will be 2-4pm for kids and 4-9pm for the general public art walk. LIA will have space within Vance Music’s location for a table. Plan is to sell LIA t-shirts and run a membership drive to raise money for the organization; t-shirts will cost $20, or $15 if purchased with the $5 membership; membership drive is to gain list of e-mails and mailing addresses for future use to recruit volunteers and attendance at future events.
