2014 April Newsletter
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
" You
hold the key to your success. It's hitting the delete button on the
idea that past failures can prevent dreams from coming true. They
can't! Those missteps just point you in the right direction! Break
the hold that old mistakes have on you, try again---and watch amazing
things unfold!"
We
have had a little of every kind of weather these last few weeks, but
I believe that Spring is on it's way. Some of the trees in the
orchards are in full bloom. I hope they do not freeze.
Thanks
to all of you that supported me for my paint-in. We had a lot of fun,
a great lunch and visit, and also a fun raffle. We missed those of
you who didn't make it.
We
also had a surprise visit from one of our past president's, Rebecca
Chaffee. We have missed Becky and it was great to see her. We
appreciate her taking the time to visit with all of us. As you know,
Becky has some health problems and it was wonderful to see her up and
around. Thank you, Becky, and the best to you. See you again,
sooooooon!
The
cabinets are ready for the April Seminar. If you have paid for
seminar IN
FULL,
you may pick it up, along with the pattern, after April 3rd.
Please call Tirzah at 801-825-2660 to make arrangements for pick up.
May's
paint-in is a beautiful Russian Floral Box to be taught by June
Skollingsberg. Has everyone signed up? Be sure to let us know, on
the sign up sheet, if you want the Chapter to order you a box.
Happy
Easter! Hope to see you soon and myt 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.
