Fried chicken from AQ along with tea and soda will be provided. Members are asked to bring a side dish or dessert.

Again this year’s potluck will include the annual PSNWA canned food drive to benefit a local food bank that needs its shelves restocked. We are asking everyone attending to please bring a canned or non-perishable item to benefit the charity. (Please make sure the food isn’t expired or close to expiration.) PSNWA will match contributions up to 100 cans of food.

Kris uses traditional photographic techniques to create abstractions from everyday objects by closely focusing on the truest form of the object. His current series is based on plants and the relsemblance to other organic forms. Kris’ work has been part of several exhibits throughout Northwest Arkansas and his work can be found in private collections in Arkansas, Virginia, California, Minnesota and Michigan.
