2018 November Newsletter


Hi Ladies,

We enjoyed a wonderful class etching on glass with Terry Pulver. Terry provided the class with various stencil patterns. We used an etching cream (you don't even use a paint brush, paint or palette paper) to etch the glass. The glass pieces turned out beautiful and everyone there was happy with their new treasures. Thanks Terry! You did a great class as always.

Helen Mahoney will be teaching a Rosemary West nativity scene on a plate the 24th of November. It's not to late to sign up. Give one of the Board a call. We'd love to see you.

The Christmas party is coming up fast, December 8th at 3 pm at Jeremiah's Restaurant on 12th Street. Check the newsletter for the dinner choices. Call Nancy Coley at 801-698-0418 to sign up. Hope to see you there!

Remember the annual Chapter and National Due are due.

Happy Thanksgiving

Lydia

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.



Chapter Dues
Yes, it's that time of year again. I'm sure most of you have received notice from SDP about your national membership renewal with your last Decorative Painters magazine. National dues need to be postmarked before December 1st to avoid their $5 postage/handling fee. (Pay SDP dues directly to the Society.)

It is not to early to pay your 2019 local dues ($15). Checks can be made out to Golden Spike Decorative Painters and mailed to the Chapter at 295 W Ctr Street, PO 302, Willard, UT 84340.


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.

 Last Chance!!!
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.
