PETER BOTOS Happy Holidays. After a hectic school year for our Association, we arrived at the gates of a well-deserved summer break. It's time to count and analysis of what happened in these past months. In September, we headed a letter to the municipal groups of the Socialist Party Winning Alcorcon, Citizens and Izquierda Unida, which are those that form the opposition groups in the city of Alcorcón to request an interview with the order to get us to know his view of the importance for them the Museum of Glass Art.

We also conducted in that month a visit to the facilities of "The Mediterranean" in the Valencian town of L'Olleria, and are run by the family Abdon.
On March 31 we attended the delivery of the National Award for Arts in the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, and was nominated for the Catalan firm Luesma Vega SL, formed by glassmakers and artists Luesma Xavi Ester Vega. Last May, we call upon the various political groups that make our City City Council asking for their collaboration in order to design a strategy to enable all our citizens aware of the existence of MAVA. The only political group that responded to our request was to win Alcorcón, with whose representative, Henry Ferris, we held a meeting at the end of that month of May. As a result of this meeting we have sent letters offering our "Know Your Museum" at the Alcorcón Hospital Foundation, Senior Centers and Adult Schools of our city. On various dates in the month of May 3rd glassmakers meetings in L'Olleria, in the National Glass Centre Foundation in La Granja, and in Sitges they were held. We could only be present in the last of these meetings and feel a great sadness of not being able to go to the other two scheduled events, as had been our desire. In June last we visited the exhibition "Art Vetrario Muranese" in the Technology Museum Farm, visit to which we refer on page 5 of this Bulletin. And we continue to expect our City's written regarding the prohibition to continue with our program "Concerts in the MAVA" response.
