			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s something about the energy of summertime that invites change and stirs things up. Here at Passion Works Studio we’re seeing that to be true!</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img src="http://passionworks.org/newsletter/2010/August/max.jpg" alt="Max" hspace="10" width="138" height="186" align="left" />First of all, we bid a fond farewell to Production Artist, Max Wheeler as he moves on to travel the Northeast United States as a sales associate for a poster firm. He’ll be targeting bookstores that cater to university students looking for a little pizzazz to brighten a dorm room. We’ll miss your talent and good humor, Max! We wish you great success!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img src="http://passionworks.org/newsletter/2010/August/noah.jpg" alt="Noah" hspace="10" width="150" height="254" align="right" />Next, we are pleased to introduce Noah Cline, who is taking over the duties Max covered in our studio. Noah comes to us with dual Bachelor’s degrees in Anthropology and Media Studies, focusing on Society and Media. Noah is out-going and full of enthusiasm for his new position with Passion Works. “I feel like I’m in a production of Alice in Wonderland! There are so many beautiful things to see, people to meet and ideas to explore!” said Noah. We invite you to stop by the studio and store to meet and welcome Noah. We’re so happy to have him join our team!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img src="http://passionworks.org/newsletter/2010/August/wendy.jpg" alt="Wendy" hspace="10" width="173" height="252" align="left" />And finally, our Lead Artist-in-Residence, Wendy Minor Viny is due to deliver her second child in August! So she is taking some time off to prepare, be close with family and of course, to give that new baby a great start. We’re sending Wendy and her family our best wishes for a speedy delivery and a wonderful bonding experience with the new addition to their family. Wendy, we miss you and will expect you to drop in to visit all the artists and show off the newest member of the Minor Viny family!</span></p>
