2018 October Newsletter
Welcome Rain!
Hi all you painters out there.We ended the seminar year with a great class. Linda Sharp's classes were fantastic and I'm sure everyone enjoyed her mudding class and the Jacobean projects. Thank you Linda for a wonderful seminar and all the tips you supplied us with.
The election votes were tallied and it looks like the same officers will be serving in 2019.
Terry will be teaching glass etching in October. So come and join use for that. Bring those vases and other glass pieces you want to dress up.
In November, Helen Mahoney will be teaching a Rosemary West nativity piece on a plate.
And don’t forget the Christmas Party on December 8th at 2 pm. Your cost of $7.00 will give you a great diner, fun and games, and great raffle prizes. This year we are asking everyone to bring a new pair of socks (man or woman) and it will be donated to the Veteran's home. We will also have a White Elephant exchange. And on top of all that you will get to see friends you may not have seen for a while. Check this month's newsletter for more details.
I hope to see you there and remember “Let your dreams take you places”.

2019 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.
