2014 October Newsletter

THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH:
Even the most impossible dreams come true. Today, someone will find love – the fairy tale kind, but even better, because it's real. Today, someone will hold a baby they thought they'd never have. Today, someone will get their big break. Today, someone will be healed. Miracles are a part of life. Believe!"

Hi Painters!


Well ladies, I believe summer is about over. The fruit stands are out of corn on the cob and the tomatoes are getting scarce. The apples are on now but I really hate to see the corn etc. go, but I just love fall.

Those of you who did not make it to the Peggy Harris Seminar really missed a delightful lady and a very informative two days. Everyone ended up with wonderful animals. I don't know when we have had more information and instructions available to us.

Thanks to all the Board Members for all their help in setting up, taking down and serving lunches. Don't know what we would do without all of you. Thanks, again.

I hate to keep bring this to your attention, but we invite EVERYONE TO COME JOIN US and bring your unfinished pieces and Tirzah will help you finish them. We meet at the Riverdale Senior Center on Wednesday's from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. They also serve a great lunch for $2.50. This is a wonderful place to paint and we have a lot of fun. Also, beginning October 29th, we will start working on the prep for the November Christmas Plate. Yet another good reason to join us!

Everyone please check out the rest of the blog for more information on the October and November classes. Hope to see you there.
