SHARES cards
"I used my shares card all the time & a couple of times I have had to say wait my shares card. The clerk at Save Mart(Oakdale/Scenic) told me if I ever forget to give my share card that I could call a 800 number on the back of the card & enter the receipt number so CCAA can get credit. I wanted to pass this information on to card holders because in all of our busy lives we sometimes have a tendency to forget to pull that card out. I love to see the total balance listed on everyone of my receipts. I am so glad I can contribute this way.
Thanks, Tony and anyone else who helped begin this program for Mistlin Gallery!

ArtPoint Event at 111 Minna on 4/29Calling all game changers, boundary breakers, iconoclasts and troublemakers! You're invited to an ArtPoint event at 111 Minna on April 29. Don't miss this evening celebrating ideas and artists who push society forward. Despite what you might think, the revered artists who painted Impressionist works were actually the absinthe-swilling bad boy rebels of Paris. Join us for a discussion on how these imaginatively disruptive artists and technologies, pariahs of their day, redefined the world. To help you get into the spirit of the evening, an array of absinthe cocktails will be available courtesy of ArtPoint. The reception begins at 6 pm and the discussion will be held from 7:30–8:30 pm. Advance purchase tickets are $20 for ArtPoint members and $30 for non-members. At the door tickets are $25 for ArtPoint members and $40 for non-members. For more information and to purchase a ticket, click here. This event is produced in partnership with INFORUM, a division of the Commonwealth Club, and the Contemporary Jewish Museum.
