Brrrrrr! Is ever going to warm up?
Brrrrrr! Is ever going to warm up?
Hello
Everyone,
I
hope you’re all keeping warm and not out there catching those nasty
flu bugs. We had our share of it and we weren't even trying to find
them.
In
January, Tirzah taught a class to finish the bottom half of the box
“Winter Joy”. There were a few variations and colors for the
bottom. Each and everyone was beautiful. Good class.
In
February, I will be teaching a “Pineapple” on a Roc-lon banner.
Roc-lon is used in black out drapes and is a nice surface to paint
on.
This
year we will continue to collect canned food item to support our
local food banks. This effort will go towards the Chapters community
service project.
Our
first seminar is in April with Heidi England teaching a Pinocchio
table. Please
remember:

2013 Paint-ins
The Board would like some input from the Chapter members about next year's Paint-ins and fall Seminar. What kind and style of projects would you like to paint? Who would you like as teachers? Would you willing to teach a class and if so, what would you teach? Please give this some serious thought. We are here for You. Contact any of the Board members with your ideas.
2013 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. (See our Food Bank Donations Guideline page for information on acceptable items or go the the Utah Food Bank web site for more information.) There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.
