Well ladies, it is finely here. DECEMBER! More time to spend with family and friends. The weather is cold and wet so we might as well stay inside and paint.The November paint-in went well although our time had to be made short, and I apologize for that. We had a mix-up with the schedule and the club house was booked for two different things for the same day. It all worked out in the end. I want to thank June for doing such a great job of teaching us the wonderful painting technique of Russian painting. We didn't have much time but I think most of us learned a lot. Hopefully we can get June to come back next year and we can try it again when we have more time.
Remember the Christmas party on the 11th at Maddox's restaurant in Brigham City on Hwy 89 at 11 am. The cost is $14.00. The ugly sweater contest is canceled until a later time. Also we have a couple of really nice prizes for the “looser raffle ticket” drawing, but you have to be present to WIN if your name is drawn. Hope to see you all there, we should have a great time. Also we will be having an “Ornament Exchange” at the Christmas party.

Nancy Coley - President
Glenda Mitchell - Vice-President
Eileen Barnard - Vice-President

If there is someone that you would like to nominate for an office or run yourself please call me or Pat Reeder and let us know. We need to know before the 11th of December.
I hope that we can get more members and get some of our old members back.
Hope to see all of you at the Christmas party. Have a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year.
Glenda
Painting tip: Use a small roller to base coat your project and you will have a nice smooth surface to paint on. You can also multi color slip slap other colors on to add a cool background. Keep your roller in a zip lock bag and it will keep for a very long time.
