2015 February Newsletter


THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
"You have the secret to feeling great! It's easier than you think to say goodbye to the blahs and hello to more energy, fresh confidence, and a brand-new outlook: Just be good to yourself! Do something that nurtures your mind, body and spirit. The results: a better than ever you!

Hi Painters and Happy Valentines Day

Well friends, we have made it through the holidays and are on our way to a great new year of painting, etc. Have you all kept your resolutions? Mine probably lasted all of one day. Hope you all have done better than me.

Please be sure and check our blog site for the projects we have scheduled so far for this year. We hope you will be able to attend several of the classes.

Those of you who are interested in Heidi England's Seminar need to let us know as soon as possible as classroom space for this one is limited and we will only be able to handle a set number of painters. BE SURE AND PHONE TIRZAH at (801-825-2660 or 801-336-7900) and get your reservation in.

Tirzah has the “finishing projects” class for the New Year up and going now. Bring your unfinished projects and join us.

Remember, we would like to hear from all of you regarding what you'd be interested in painting this year, what class you'd like to teach, and what office you would like to run for in next year's elections. Heads up ladies, “WE NEED YOU”.

God Bless

Gloria

2015 Chapter Service Project
This year the Chapter will be trying something different for our Community Service Project. Instead of bring food items (which we so often forget) for the Food Bank, we will have a donation box where people can drop in spare change or a dollar or two. You'd be surprised how quickly little bits can add up. There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.
