The Pottery Papers Blog

Way back in '01 at this blogger's first HLCCA Conference, Candy Fagerlin presented a seminar entitled The Pottery Papers, highlighting HLC wares and ephemera. As a souvenir of that seminar, Candy distributed customized Fiesta bread-and-butter plates in the then-new color SUNFLOWER.

Now, you can view much of Candy's presentation on The Pottery Papers blog. Check it out!

Cinda Gambill Memorial Fund for "Dollars for Scholars"

Today, HLCCA received a contribution from the “Hat Ladies and Friends of Cinda Gambill” designated for the “Cinda Gambill Memorial Fund”. Since Cinda was a strong supporter of higher education, the memorial funds will be given to Dollars for Scholars, a program that benefits the children of HLC employees through their local school districts. HLCCA has made annual contributions to Dollars for Scholars for many years.

If you would like to contribute to the “Cinda Gambill Memorial Fund,” you may either send your contribution in care of Sandra Bond, HLCCA President, PO Box 721, North Platte, NE 69103, or directly to Dollars for Scholars (to the attention of Catherine Vodrey), PO Box 458, East Liverpool, Ohio 43920. In either case, checks should be made payable to Dollars for Scholars and designated for the “Cinda Gambill Memorial Fund”.

Thank you for your generous support in remembrance of a beloved founding member of HLCCA.

200 Votes in on HLCCA Conference 2012 Location

Kansas City and Seattle are neck-and-neck, and the polls will be open for only another month. Be sure to let us know your preference for the location of HLCCA's "away" conference in 2012.

UPDATE 8/26/09: We're not pointing any fingers, but we suspect that there may be a little ballot-box stuffing going on with the blog poll. Apparently, it is possible to vote several times. Therefore, we'll also be distributing a mail-in ballot for the 2012 Conference location in a future edition of The Dish. Thanks!
