THOUGHT
FOR THE MONTH
Heidi
arrived for our seminar and our first day of painting was wonderful,
but was I ever tired when I got home. She really worked us hard, as
she usually does, but our pieces are all going to be marvelous. This
cabinet is a wonderful heirloom piece.
We
have lots of fun classes coming up. Hope you can take time off from
your busy summertime and come to some of them. You can check these
out on the Chapter blog. If there is anything you would like to
particularly do, please let someone on the Board know and we will see
if we can take care of it.
Thanks
to all those members who give of their time and support the Chapter.
Without each of you we would not be able to have the wonderful
classes and seminars that we do.
Don't
forget June Skollingberg's beautiful Russian Floral Box coming up in
May. There is also a class in Zentangle in July, so check these out.
Happy
Spring Everyone! Lots of yard work to take care of now. Hope to see
you soon and may God bless.

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.
