Hello Painters,
Well, it looks like you all will be seeing the same Board next year. The voting was held during the October paint-in and we were voted back in. We must have done something right. We hope to have another good year and are counting on our members to support the Chapter in 2013.
Sorry a lot of you couldn't make it to the Cookie Plate Class. The weather was great and everyone there enjoyed the class and goodies provided by Sandy, Wendy, and Helen. The class was very relaxing and we enjoyed painting with Kristen. She displayed some of her cookie plates from previous years. They were all beautiful. She is very comfortable teacher to paint with.
This month we will be having the cookie exchange during the paint-in with Glenna. Even if you didn't do a plate, bring some cookies and enjoy the exchange with the rest of the ladies. We will be painting “Winter Joy” (a beautiful piece) with Glenna.
Remember to sign up for our Christmas luncheon. This year the lunch will be at Jeremiah’s Restaurant on12th Street . Contact one of the officers or Eileen, our treasurer.See our Blog for details. Come and join us for a fun time.
Remember to bring a canned food item to our paint-in to support the local food bank.
Happy painting,

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.

Yes, it's that time of year again. I'm sure most of you have received notice from SDP about your national membership renewal with your last Decorative Painters magazine.

Please pay your local dues ($15) to the treasurer by December 1st to avoid our $5 late penalty (accrued after January 1st). Checks can be made out to Golden Spike Decorative Painters and mailed to the Chapter at 2825 W 5875 S, Roy, UT 84067.
