Jean and John discussed this and we feel it would be great if the group adopts the Haiti Salon idea. Ideally, we would have a Haiti Salon Miami, a Haiti Salon Boston, Haiti Salon Port-au-Prince, Haiti Salon Philadelphia, etc, etc etc.

Jean has a colleague who is a graphic artist. He will check with him to see if he or someone else he knows could do graphic design for us.
