2010 July Newsletter

Hello Ladies

If you are reading my July letter it means you are on our new newsletter site. It’s very nice. After months of research to determine how best to proceed the Board gave Terry Pulver, Newsletter Editor, the go ahead to move from the old web site to our new blog site. The blog site offers so many additional opportunities to share GSDP’s love of painting with you. One of the features that we responded to is the ability for you to communicate with us on the blog site. Plus there is a lot of additional information we think you will enjoy. Please change your bookmark for GSDP to reflect our new site. Thank you Terry for all of the hard work you put into making this change.

Members have not been beating my door down or the phone ringing off the hook with offers of handmade items for the November Golden Dollar Auction. Your project doesn’t have to been completed already. We just want to know you will participate.

Our seminar with David Jansen is postponed until a later date. His schedule is too full right now. He is working on a piece he thinks we’ll like but his schedule is too full right now for him to complete it prior to September.

Glenda Mitchell will teach her Fall Banner on September 25th as a regular Paint-In.

Don’t forget about the UGLY SWEATER contest in December.

It is already time to put together a ballot for the 2011 GSDP Board. Now is the time to step forward and volunteer for the position of your choice.

What the heck, I almost forgot that it’s time for a new clue about the Mystery Paint-In. Let’s see, how about some initials? Here you go, they are MFB. The response for the Mystery Paint-In is fantastic. It will be a lot of FUN.

Enjoy this beautiful weather.

2011 Elections
It may seem a bit early, but elections for next year's officers will be held in October this year, so your Board is asking everyone to be thinking about serving on the nominating committee and/or serving as an officer for 2011. We will be electing members for the positions of President, 1st and 2nd Vice Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer. The Chapter also needs Chairpersons for Seminars/Paint-ins, Christmas Party, Memory/Treasure Boxes, Grants/Publicity and Web/Newsletter Editor. We encourage each of you to consider running and/or volunteering for an position next year. The Chapter needs everyone’s time and commitment to keep it alive and well so that we can continue to share Decorative Painting experiences.
