2015 Seminars and Paint-ins
Hi Painters
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
"Your life is a beautiful true story. A story of caring and courage. A story that has more highs than lows, more triumphs than disappointments. The unfolding story of someone with love to share, adventures to experience, discoveries to make and dreams
to live!"
!f you haven’t signed up for the fall seminar and other classes we have, be sure and check out the blog and see what we will be painting.
Elections for 2016 Chapter officers are coming up shortly. We need people to serve. So PLEASE give serious thought to keeping our Chapter active by selecting an office you would like to help out with.
Hasn’t it been a wonderful summer! Peaches are now on, so everyone enjoy as
they are not around for long.
We, my husband and I, enjoyed a nice trip to Seattle. After we got back we canned tomatoes, so we have been pretty busy.
EVERYONE 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.
Hope we see you soon and may God bless.
Gloria

2016 Elections
2015 Chapter Service Project
The Chapter will vote on new officers at the October Seminar. Below is a list of those who are willing to serve the Chapter in 2016.
President - Pat Reeder
1st VP - Eileen Barnard
2nd VP - Nancy Coley
Treasurer - Wendy Ouellette
2nd VP - Nancy Coley
Treasurer - Wendy Ouellette
Secretary - Lydia Gossett
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 Seminar.
If you are not attending the October Seminar, you may vote by E-Mail by October 5th. A special E-mail will be sent to you 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.
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.
