The CLAW, being kind benevolent souls, has heard the pleas from the economically whiplashed masses and has lowered the dues for membership. Of course you still have to undergo critical scrutiny by your peers to see if you are worth of CLAW status, but at least there will be less of a dent in your pocketbook.

Each month the CLAW holds an open meeting for both members and non-members to attend. The CLAW is involved in many project requiring it’s unique skill sets. This meeting gives us a chance to work on those projects while kibitzing with our friends and associates who also take an interest. More than anything, it’s an excuse to get together, draw and share our talents with each other.

THIS MONTH: We are finishing up our self-portraits. RR Anderson requested that all the members of the CLAW put their efforts into completing the profile section of the website where biographies and self-portraits are to be featured. To that end the deadline for the art was set to by at the end of this Open Swim.

You’ve heard rumors about the CLAW. Come and see which of them are true. Or just come to see the fez. We are meeting in the back room to the left of the stage. You can bring a friend, but no kids. Adults only.
Remember to bring stuff to draw with.
