Art Club was run by joint president and vice-presidents Scott MacDonald and Shannon Crace, Secretary Cruz Alvidres, and Treasurer Eddie Garcia. Art Club went to San Francisco to see the Vatican art exhibit, and they went on many trips to local art galler- ies and artist's studios. They planned to publish a calendar for the 4984 year. They also silkscreened shirts and paint- ed Christmas scenes on windows as fundraisers. Most of the money re- quired was supplied by members, but what money they made, they used.
