!!! ATTENTION LADIES !!!

October 29th Paint-in

The tins for the October Paint-in piece 'To Grandmother's House We Go' did not arrive as promised by the supplier.

Since the Riverdale Community Center is already scheduled, we will go ahead with a paint-in, but it will be a 'bring your own project' or 'finish a project' day. We will start and 11 am and go to 4 pm.

The supplier says the tins are on the way. We will get them to you ASAP. Judy Graham has said that she is willing to re-schedule the project for November 12th, so we have arranged to have the Riverdale Community Center for that date. Contact Tirzah (801-825-2660) if you have any questions.

2011 October Newsletter

Dear Painters:

I can’t believe that it is October and the year is almost over. It is great to see the wonder colors in our canyons and foothills. The colors give you the urge to paint.

We have had some wonderful Paint-Ins and Seminars this year, the most recent with Bill Bayer was a lot of fun and I hope the members that participated enjoyed it as much as I did.

I want to thank all of the Board Members who worked so hard to make our Paint-Ins, Seminars and Socials so very successful. Also, a big thanks to all who brought raffles. Your time and effort has made our activities very enjoyable and a lot of fun.

Please take note of the changes in date, time, and location of the October Paint-in caused by the delay in getting the tins.


Our Christmas Party will be on December 10th at the Prairie Schooner Restaurant. Please let me know if you plan to attend so that we can get an accurate head count. 801 621-7564

October is National SDP Painting Month and time to pay our Chapter Dues.

Keep painting and happy Halloween.

Nancy
