Proposed New Constitution and By-Laws Passes

The revisions to the APA Constitution & By-Laws passed by a vote of 82 yeas and 17 nays with 50 abstaining. Thanks to everyone who made their voice heard both through the voting and the general discussions. We have a truly great hobby organization that is now approaching old age at 64 but we remain strong, creative and vibrant! The board and officers remain honored to serve the APA members and continue to lead us forward. October is now approaching so back to your cases and presses and fill up those bundles with your best printing.

On behalf of the Board,
Mark Barbour
APA 2022 President

This will be a great weekend of presentations, workshops, letterpress printing, tours and much needed fellowship among the APA members, friends, and fellow letterpress nuts! You don’t want to miss what is sure to be a stellar Wayzgoose.

The special Aloha theme is in honor of our recently departed members, Dave Peat and Gregory Walters, both of whom were taller-than-life inspirational members of the APA. They both lived and breathed this hobby and shared a tireless passion for all things letterpress. In their honor we are having an Aloha ‘Goose Banquet on Saturday with some special presentations. Dave and Greg would always show up at every Wayzgoose in matching Hawaiian shirts. So everyone is encouraged to wear your favorite Hawaiian shirt to the banquet…

Attendance is open to everyone, whether you are an APA member or not. But the registration is limited to 100 people. So don’t delay and register now!

Also, the special rates for accommodations will be expiring in early May (May 1 for Village Inn on the Lake and May 9 for Lighthouse Inn), so link to the webpage that has that info:
