Happy Fourth of July!
Hello
Everyone,
I
hope your summer is going well and you were enjoying the great
weather.
We
have had great classes so far this year and there are more to come in
the following
months.
In
June we did a beautiful oriental orchid on a textured surface with
Eileen. There
were a lot of color variations and all were beautiful. Great job
everybody.
In
July, Nancy will be teaching a folk art chicken. It is a cute piece.
You still have lots
of time to sign up. Contact Tirzah for the class and Eileen for the
wood piece. Or
you can paint it on a plate, box or whatever you may have on hand.
Come
and join us for fun and relaxation.
See
you next month.

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.
