Congratulations Congratulations to Rose-Mary Faulkner who has been accepted as one of forty six finalists in the EMERGE 2018 International Glass Competition. EMERGE 2018 is the tenth in a biennial series of exhibitions hosted by Bullseye Projects in Portland, Ore- gon, USA. Awards in this international juried competition include a total of $22,000 in Bullseye Glass gift cards, recognition at an awards ceremony, as well as representation in a full-color catalog. Selected award winners will be included in a national tour. Emerge 2018 was open to makers who started working in kiln-glass less than fifteen years ago. Students and artists who are not represented by major galleries were encouraged to apply. Works are judged on excellence of craftsmanship, design and creativity, and must be made with Bullseye glasses.

Congratulations to Pauline Everson Proud son, Richard, recently posted these words and the adjoining image on Facebook: Congratulations mum! My mum Pauline received a Gold Award today, in recog- nition of more than 50 years of service within the Canberra community. Since the day she arrived in 1962, she has been an active community member, providing thousands of hours of service to a range of organisations spanning disability, the arts, and community. On behalf of all those who have benefit- ted from your service, especially me and my sister Penny, thank you mum. St Margaret’s News 3 April 2018
