any of the the member societies they will have the benefit
of membership available through their society. In addition
to the Pastel Society of America and numerous other
societies in the U. S., organizations in England, Australia
and China have expressed interest in participating.
Conventions will be scheduled every other year. The first
international convention of pastel societies will be held in

I SECOND THAT EMOTION, especially since it is common knowledge in the gay
and lesbian community that scores of gifted artists down through the ages
were/are homosexual.
