THOUGHT
FOR THE MONTH
"On
this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know ... that life
is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us
sooner or later with astounding accuracy."
Happy
St. Patrick's Day
Ladies
I think Spring is about here my miniature iris are sticking their
heads out. I
hope they
don't
freeze as there is supposed to be another cold storm coming in.
February's
paint-in was a "Butter
Print Rooster Plate" by JoSonja Jansen taught by Tirzah. She had
a good sized class and everyone had a great time. Tirzah is always a
great teacher and fun to paint with.
The
Board and myself would like to see more of our members volunteer to
teach a class and project, as I'm sure everyone has some interesting
and illuminating techniques we would all like to learn. If you are
interested, please phone Tirzah at 801-825-2660. Remember "by
learning you will teach, by teaching you will learn".
March's
paint in will be a Christmas notebook cover for our patterns. The
class will be held at Westwood Village at 10 a.m. Saturday,
March 22,
2014. For further details check out our blog or
call Tirzah (801-825-2660) or Gloria (801-755-0244).
Hope
you have all signed up for the April Seminar.
Check out the
blog site for pictures and details.
We have the
cabinets being made and they will be available shortly.
Hope
to see you soon and may God bless you all.

2014 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.
