Autumn is here (a new chapter)

Ladies & Gentlemen of the Autumn Society,

Autumn is officially here and it's time for a fresh look and for some recognitions & thank-you's.

It is my great pleasure to officially add a new Chapter to the group. You might have seen the logo above before, but just to clarify this different version of the Autumn Society logo represents Sam Heimer's Chapter of the group. For those who don't know, Sam is one of the original founders of the group and the one who came up with the name "The Autumn Society" we use today. The group has had a lot of history and it is very interesting to see where we started, where we are now, and where we are going. All in all we wouldn't be where we are today without Sam Heimer.

Sam is one of the most talented individuals I've ever met. He's got a lot of ideas, projects, and goals he wants to achieve with this group, so please welcome him with open arms. Recently, Sam curated the Autumn Society's Hallowed Halloween Show (in collaboration with Philadelphia Cartoonist Society), which will premiere next week at Proximity Gallery.
Another recognition & thank-you goes out to the Philadelphia Cartoonist SocietyJeffro Kilpatrick & Christian "Patch"ell for inspiring us in creating our own art group back in 2005. Other PCS members that have had a huge impact on our group are our very own Tom Whalen, Dave Perillo, Scott Derby, and Christine Larsen. I thank-you all for your support!

Viva la Autumn Society and here's to many prosperous autumns to come!

A most appropriate post for the first day of Autumn. Congrats on the new chapter Sam!

I love the new graphics, btw, very October/Halloween-inspired.
