June 9, 1928 WINNET KA TALK 4 Art League Members | Howard P. Savage Heads Get Invitation to Join Sketch Group The board members of the North Shore Art league held a meeting Thursday, May 31, at which future plans were discussed. An invitation given by Lionel Robertson of Ravinia, president of the organization, to all members of the league to join a group of sketchers--who meet every Satur- day during the summer--at the Ra- vinia post office at 2 o'clock and go in a body to some interesting spot to sketch. This group is rather an unique organization since it has no dues, -no president or officers but a sizable number of interested mem- bers. It is hoped that many of the league members will take advantage of Mr. Roberston's 'invitation. The board also considered the advi- sability of holding an out-of-door sketch mart in the early fall. This would probably take place on one of the Village Greens of the north shore towns and would undoubtedly be an interesting event to most north shore people. This kind of mart has been very popular in Philadelphia where a very informal one is held every year. N. U.
