2019 October Newsletter
Hello Ladies,
Lydia
“May
God go before you and make the rough road smooth. May his strength be
your Joy. And his Peace fill your heart.”
I'm
getting excited about the up coming seminar with Heidi. She is such a
delightful lady and a good teacher. I love hearing her stories of her
travels etc. We always have a fun class with her. Hope to see you
there.
Nancy
Coley will be teaching a Margaret Wehking stroke work pattern in
November. It's a very pretty piece and fun to do. Come join us.
The
annual Christmas Party is coming up and will be held at Maria's
Mexican Restaurant. Check the blog for the details. We hope to see
you there for great food and fun and games.
Your
SDP membership dues are due. I sent mine in and received three
e-packs for renewing early. Golden Spike dues can be paid any time

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

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.

Heidi Note: I rarely clean the roller – only wipe it off as you change colors. Therefore, I get beautiful color variations.
Lunches are included in the seminar price. All lunches will include beverages and dessert.
