2014 Seminars and Paint-ins
THOUGHT
FOR THE MONTH
“
Happy is something you
were meant to be. For every worry that tugs at you, there is a joy
that can lift you up-once you notice it. For every doubt that nags at
you, there is a dream that can inspire you-if you let it. And every
single day brings a new reason to smile-and a chance to smile back! “
Hi Painters,
Fall is
fast turning into winter and before we know it snow will be flying.
Really hate to see it as I know that when we have to clear snow it is
not the most fun thing in the world. Hopefully we won't get too much
on the valley floor but we really need it in the mountains as our
water supplies are down.
A great
big THANK YOU to Betty Roberts for coming and teaching our October
class, which was Peggy Harris's fish pattern. It was a very
interesting class and the new method was very informative and we all
learned a lot. Betty is a very good teacher and we had a lot of fun.
I have been thinking about using this method on other projects to see
how it would work. Also, want to thank Hazel Rimmasch for coming with
her. I was great to have you both. Thanks a lot.
Also a
big thanks to Wendy for bringing the delicious apples!
Thanks
to all the Board Members for all their help in setting up, taking
down and all the things that you help with. Really appreciate all of
you and don't know what we would do without all of you. Thanks,
again.
Once
again I want to remind EVERYONE TO COME JOIN US, bring your
unfinished pieces and Tirzah will help you to 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 a lot of fun is had by everyone.
Everyone,
please check out the blog sight for information on our November
class. Hope we see you there.
God
Bless.

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.
2015 Elections
The Chapter will vote on new officers at the November Paint-in.
You may 'write-in' a candidate for any Board position, but please make sure that person is willing and able to serve before you nominate them. All 'write-in' candidates must be added to the ballot before voting begins at the Paint-in.
If you cannot attend the November Paint-in, you may vote by E-mail before the November 22nd meeting. A special E-mail will be sent around the first of the month and you may vote by responding to the E-mail. Please indicate your approval of the candidate(s) or your 'write-in' candidate for a specific Board position.
