Join us at our 2nd Annual Meeting and Artists' Banquet, scheduled at the end of the Annual Paintout period. A short business meeting and nominations for 2010 Executive Officers will be part of this evening. The Artists' Banquet and special member activities provide exceptional opportunities for all PAPNM members to socialize after an intense week of painting.
