Librarian MINUTES of the meeting of December 4 were approved as submitted , CORRESPONDENCE : Various brochures and an invitation to meeting of the Associated Council of the Arts to be held in Los Angeles . AGENDA ITEM 1 - Spring Art Show : Ars . Poncia introduced Mrs . Paula Beam , who directs arts and crafts shows throughout the Bay Area . She is the coordinator and public relations person , sending a newsletter announcing shows to a mailing list of 500 . She handles the advertising : radio , posters , and newspaper , and has a large banner which can be dis- played in the street . Invitations would be sent to local people . The show is completely organized , so nothing evolves upon the Commission other than sponsorship . Mrs . Beam will coordinate the event with the downtown merchants . She carries a million dollars of insurance . The weekend of May 7 , 8 , and 9 appears to be a favorable time for the show . Mr s . Beam explained how Los Gatos and other cities have handled a wine tasting in connection with the arts and crafts show . Glasses can be purchased by the city , etched in any way they wish , such as "Redwood City Arts & Crafts Show - 1976 " and sold . They would be sold only to adults and the glasses can then be taken to the wineries , where wine would be dispensed to the hold - ers . Funds from sale of the wine glasses go to the sponsoring group . An entry fee is charged artists , usually 010 plus 10% commission on sales , which goes to Mrs . Beam .
