THE ZNE SCENE!
~ April 21, 2006 ~
Dear ZNEers,
WOW! Is it the third week of April - already!?
Springtime is upon us, and finally, here in Northern California,
we’ve had some sun. Its been nice to get outside with my kids and
p~l~a~y!
Another nice thing is that regardless of the weather outside, the
sun is always shining at ZNE! I am delighted to report that last
month we had a fabulous Live Chat with ZNE Member Claudine Hellmuth.
Look for more live chats to come in the future, and in the meantime -
if you missed the chat, you can find the transcript, here:

And… speaking of April and “bright” futures… the application
deadline for the first annual ZNE Learning Scholarship just passed,
and I am delighted to tell you that we have over 30 wonderful
applications! A committee is in place and will begin reviewing
applications in May, and in July - we will unveil the ZNE Gallery of
Applicant Art, along with announcing the three recipients of this
year’s scholarship awards. Woo-Hoo! This particular program is really
close to my heart, and I am very excited about being able to assist
struggling artists in pursuing their art education!

March’s EH went out a little late, but we had a lot of people
participating, so I hope you all enjoy your packages!
April’s packages will be sorted and go out - hopefully on April
26th.
I just HAD to show off this wonderful piece of mail art that was
actually the priority mail envelope that ZNE Member, Keisha Edwards
(CreativeChange) sent her Ephemera Hera swap stuff in, this month!
I just love getting packages like that! If you all want to get your
own Ephemera Hera packages, check the details above, and send me some
goodies!
