2018 July Newsletter

Hello Ladies,

I hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer. Time is flying by fast and it will soon be winter again, so for more summer fun come and join the Chapter to have a great time painting with friends and enjoy new things with new teachers we have lined up for the rest of the year. 

And remember our Christmas party in December, so mark your calendars to come, have fun, and make it a festive occasion. This year's Christmas raffle is a beautiful bentwood box painted by John Dunn. It's a Peter Ompier pattern. The box was donated by Carol Hillier and is highly prized by collectors.

I hope to see you at one of our paint-ins, seminars, and the Christmas party. Check the Chapter's blog for painting dates and information.

Remember:
    Kind hearts are gardens;
    Kind thoughts are the roots;
    Kind words are the flowers;
     Kind deeds are the fruits;
             English Proverb


See ya!
Lydia

2018 Paint-ins

The Board would like some input from the Chapter members about next year's Paint-ins and Seminars. 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.

2018 Chapter Service Project

This year the Chapter will be supporting the battered woman's shelter, Safe Harbor. The shelter accepts clothing, toiletries and money donations. The Chapter will collect money for the shelter at each paint-in and seminar and you can give other items to Helen, who will take them to the shelter. We hope everyone will support this effort.

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 Raffles

This year at our Christmas Party we will again be having special raffle. It will be an signed original bentwood box by John Dunn generously donated to the Chapter by Carol Hillier. The Decorative Painting world lost one of the most well known folk artists with the death of John Dunn last year. John painted in the Peter Ompir Style as well as his own style. His works can be found in museums, is highly prized buy collectors, and commands high prices. 
This year's winner will be lucky indeed. 


Tickets will be on sale from now until the drawing at the party. The cost is $1.00 per ticket. You do NOT have to be present to win.
