2011 February Newsletter

Dear Painters,

What a great time we all had at the Heidi England Seminar. She is a great teacher with a charming personality. She taught us a lot about the history of Germany plus other countries that she has been to. Thanks Carol for hosting Heidi.

I want to thank the Board again for all their help in making this a successful Seminar. A big thanks for all those who donated some really great items for the raffle.

I want to remind everyone that the paint-in has been changed to the fourth Saturday of each month, same time, same place.

This month Terry will teaching a "Candle and Base" painted with Lilacs. It is a beautiful project. In March, Gloria will be teaching a "Lace Pattern Jewelry Box". If you haven’t signed up, please do so as soon as possible so that the Teachers can plan accordingly.

Remember to bring a food donation each month for a free raffle ticket.

Have a happy Valentines Day and keep painting.


Nancy

2011 Chapter Service Project
Beginning in January, the Chapter will be starting a Food Drive as a new Community Service Project. Members are urged to bring items for the Food Bank to each Paint-in they attend. (See our Food Bank Donations Guideline page for information on acceptable items or go the the Utah Food Bank web site for more information.) In return for bring items, members will receive one free raffle ticket. There is a lot of need in these hard times, so we hope everyone will support this effort.


Seminar Recipes
Over the years we have had some really great food prepared by our members. In the past we have published some of the recipes on the web site. A number of ladies requested receipes  from this year's menu. So we have decided to add a new page to our blog containing recipes from not only this year, but past years as well. It will take a bit to gather them all up, so check back later. If you have any requests, let me know......Terry

The Heidi England Seminar  was held at the Clearfield City Municipal Building.

Nancy opened the Seminar by welcoming everyone and introducing Heidi. 
 
She announced that the February Paint-in sign up sheet was on the table at the front door. It's a candle and plate with Lilacs. Raffle drawings will be held during the lunch break. Tickets can be purchased at the front table. She also urged all our members to participate in the Chapter's 2011 Service Project which will be a year long food drive. Helen Mahoney has agreed to be the coordinator. (Thanks Helen.)
 
 Nancy then invited everyone join us for dinner with Heidi the next three evenings. Thursday will be at Rainbow Gardens, Friday and Saturday at the Rambling Rose. There is a sign up sheet for this on the from table also. (We need a count to make reservations.)

Time was then turned over to Heidi and a great 3 days began with a delightful lady.
