2015 March Newsletter


THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
"You can have all the energy you need! Sure, more sleep and regular exercise work wonders—but there’s a faster good-for-you way to refuel. The secret? Letting go of any frustration, disappointment, worry and regret that’s dragging you down. Release them and restore your energy stores!!

Hi Painters!

REMEMBER, the Board would like to hear from you all 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. IF WE ARE GOING TO KEEP OUR CHAPTER WORKING AND GROWING WE NEED ALL OUR MEMBERS TO PITCH IN AND ASSIST. Thanks, ladies.

Our blog site has all the great upcoming classes listed. Be sure and check for what classes you would like to attend and sign up.

Heidi England’s seminar is fast approaching. If you would like to attend, be sure to check with Tirzah at 801-825-2660 or 801-336-7900) and get your reservation in.

Haven’t we had a beautiful winter so far? The only trouble is we need to begetting some snow in the mountains in order that we won’t be short of water this summer. Some of the ladies have daffodils and other flowers blooming in their yards already. An almost unheard of happening so early.

Leaving for Vegas soon, so maybe we’ll see some of you there. Keep Painting, ladies and be happy.

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.
