Aloha Everyone,
My daughter and I just returned from a family reunion on the island of Maui. It was so nice to visit with relatives and old friends I haven’t seen in years. We had a great time in spite of the hot, hot weather. And now it’s back to reality.
I missed the Rooster Tin class with Tirzah. I hope everyone enjoyed the class and their finished painted Rooster. My thanks to everyone who acted in my absence.
As summer comes to a close, it’s time to start thinking about our Fall Seminar. I hope a lot of you are thinking of signing up for the Sandy Aubuchon’s two one day projects.
Check out our Blog for up coming classes and our Christmas party.
Our condolences to Pat Reeder on the loss of her brother and to Susan Fukanaga on the loss of her husband Larry. God Bless and take care.
To each and everyone I say stay cool, be safe and come and join us. It will be nice to see everyone.
Happy Painting,
Lydia

2012 Chapter Service Project
This year again, the Chapter will be continuing the Food Drive as our Community Service Project. Last year was very successful and we hope to do even better this year. Members are urged to bring items for the Food Bank to each Paint-in and Seminar they attend.

There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.
