2018 August Newsletter
Summer is moving along and Fall will soon be upon us. (I can't wait for the heat to go away.) We will be having one more seminar in September with Linda Sharp. She will be teaching a technique called mudding. We will be doing a Jacobean floral as a second piece.
The July Seminar with Karen Nelson was wonderful!!! The baskets turned out beautiful. Karen did a great job teaching and everyone enjoyed her teaching technique and sense of humor. It turns out Karen and I knew each other briefly in Sacramento. We both worked for the California State DMV (across the hall from each other) and we both belonged to the Gold Country Chapter of tole painters. It's a small world. It was nice to meet her again. She is a delightful lady.

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.
