2020 January Newsletter

Happy New Year!!!

We have so many exciting things planned this year. Carol Spohn is coming in April. Please look at her website:
https://www.carolspohn.com/instructional-packets.html
 to provide suggestions on what projects we should do for her seminar.

The Golden Spike Decorative Painters have so many talented painters that I am proud to be a member and so happy to be President this year. I hope to serve the members to the best of my abilities and look forward to painting with my dear friends. We wish you all a happy New Year.

2020 Chapter Service Project
Every year the Chapter has supported worthy causes in our community. This year we will be supporting the local Food Bank and Catholic Community Services. The Chapter will collect money at paint-ins and seminars. Please be generous with your support. There is a lot of need out there. Thanks!



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.)

If you have not already, it is time to pay your 2020 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.
