THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER

Hello, and Happy Holidays everyone!

On August 23rd, we held our Informal Dinner and Annual Membership Meeting at Kavanaugh’s Esquire Club in Madison. It was great seeing our many CAS friends, and a recap is included elsewhere in your newsletter. (And make a note on your calendars: we’re already planning a similar gathering for August 22, 2026!)

During the day, Don and I attended the Wisconsin Pottery Association Show & Sale at the Alliant Energy Center. We were again staffing our CAS Collectors table, and enjoyed catching up with current members who stopped by, (as well as recruiting new members!) We also had a visit from Mary Faltz of Yesteryear magazine (one of the publications Don writes for), and she took a great picture of us at the booth. Look for our smiling faces on the cover of this issue.

As you know, this is the time of year when many memberships are up for renewal, so be sure and check your newsletter envelope. If it’s getting near time (or past time) for you to renew your membership, you’ll find a “Please Renew” sticker. All you need to do is to send in the enclosed renewal form with payment at your earliest opportunity. And remember: a family membership is only $35 – the best deal around! We depend on membership renewals to keep your club humming along, and thank you in advance! (And of course, donations are always welcome!)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hank Kuhlmann,

President
