quotes[0] = 'I originally joined because I wanted to support an organization whose purpose was to promote the art form and educate people about altered books. But I have found that the info available to me as a member on the site, and the publications the group puts out like \'altered words\' to be really wonderful. There are terrific online classes for members only. Also being able to have a page in the ISABA Member\'s gallery with examples of my work & contact info was how an editor found me and asked me to submit some of my AB\'s for consideration - that can\'t be beat! <div class="smred" align="right"><nobr>- Lenna Andrews Foster</nobr></div>';

quotes[1] = 'I was one of the first people to join ISABA and gladly renewed my membership this year. I\'ve belonged to other organizations and have never received the benefits from other groups that I receive from ISABA. If you\'re crazy about ABs like I am, then I highly recommend joining ISABA. - <span class="smred">Wendee Deal</span>';

quotes[2] = 'ISABA reaches out to the wider community with a variety of AB publicity, a display board, a library loan of AB\'s, and works hard to support the altered book artist through education and participation through it\'s web site. It is growing, and I am proud to be a member. - <span class="smred">Corinne Stubson</span>';

quotes[3] = 'I joined ISABA to gain additional knowledge about ABs and to have the support and help of other fellow AB artists. Also, to keep abreast of any changes in the AB world...it was through ISABA that I found this (AB) list.- <span class="smred">Aileen Roberts</span>';

quotes[4] = 'At the price of little more than one good hardback art book, you will receive a full year of inspiration, encouragement, samples, the knowledge and experience of others, and the opportunity to make lasting friendships. Join now. We would love to have you - and it could very well be the best deal you get for your money this year. - <span class="smred">Sherry Foley</span>';

quotes[5] = 'I became involved with the founding of ISABA because I wanted to create an awareness in the wider community about the art form. I\'ve made many connections through my work with the group and continue to go in positive directions with ABs. I am inspired by the monthly classes and the website, still in its relative infancy, is full of wonderful member pages and other places for inspiration. I am proud of what has been accomplished so far and excited by what is yet to come. - <span class="smred">Nancy Curry</span>';

quotes[6] = 'I joined ISABA as a founding member because I believed in the mission to promote altered books as an art form. We\'ve come a LONG way since the inception in June 2002. I now teach AB classes at the art center and also give private lessons. I have had a couple exhibits of ABs and have been mentioned in a local magazine which brought one student from GA to my MI class! - <span class="smred">Pam Yee</span>';

quotes[7] = 'We aspire to be a group that reaches beyond all the lists (and to reach out to other mediums). To show art that is related to ab but may be different. To have classes that appeal to the beginning student and also to the advanced teacher. To show AB to other artists who may have never encountered this before- fiber artists, painters, etc. We are only as good as our members. The more their input, the more we can accomplish. ISABA is a \"good thing\". We have classes, a zine, tip booklet, and more. We will help you promote your altered book art. We offer you a place to show your art to the public on our member pages. We are working to serve the altered book artist. - <span class="smred">Shelley Benjamin</span>';

quotes[8] = 'For me, the most important reason is just to support the cause. Also, as a member, you have access to monthly classes uploaded by various ISABA members. - <span class="smred">Ellen Rosenberg</span>';

quotes[9] = 'Wow! This is absolutely wonderful. I have learned so much from the classes and this one is no exception. I printed them and shall refer to them frequently. I am so glad I joined ISABA. It has been worth every cent! - <span class="smred">Pam Skora</span>';
