2016 August Newsletter

Hi Painter,

Thought for the Month: “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust”

Our Chapter completed the service project making lap throws for George E. Wahlen Veterans Home in Ogden, Utah. A very warm Thank you to all our ladies who came and helped on Saturday. We had fun working together cutting and tying blankets, chatting, and eating such good snacks. What more could you ask for while doing something so special for our Veterans. We completed 17 throws and they will be delivered in August.

Tirzah received the Tine’s for our October Seminar. Please contact her for pickup. She also has the patterns for Kristen’s class in August.

Please remember during this time of extreme heat, try to stay cool as possible and drinks lots of fluids to stay hydrated while enjoying August activities. Sunblock and water should be your two favorite items for this month.

2016 Chapter Service Project

This year the Chapter will again have a donation box for the Food Bank 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.

Chapter Board Meetings
The Chapter Board meets the first Friday of the month at 10 am at the Riverdale Senior Center, 4433 S. 900 W. in Riverdale. This is as open meeting and all members are welcome. If you have ideas and/or issues that you would like the Chapter to address, please come and let the Board know. This is your Chapter and your input is important.

Raffles

This year we would like to ask all members to bring a NICE raffle item. You will receive two Christmas raffle tickets for your item. Painting supplies like palette paper, brushes, and tracing paper are always welcome as are nice wood or metal surfaces. Other items could include potted plants and candy. If you would like to receive it, it will probably make a good raffle item.

Christmas Raffle

This year at our Christmas Party we will again be having a special raffle. The gift basket includes a tin tea set make by the renowned Canadian tin maker Robert Faulkner. Tickets will be on sale from now until the drawing at the party. The cost is $1.00 per ticket or 6 for $5.00. You do NOT have to be present to win.

August Business Meeting
There will be a short business meeting preceding the Paint-in. We will be discussing proposed changes to the Standing Rules. Please review the Standing Rules item 4 of the blog. The changes will be noted in red and italics.
