 2021 November Newsletter

Hello Ladies,

So glad to be painting again. I am looking forward to painting with everyone in November.  We will be doing a Donna Dewberry Magnolia Floral Design on canvas. It should be a fun project.

Don't forget to mark your calendar for the Chapter Christmas party. It will be at Maria's Mexican Restaurant on December 4th at 3pm. See the newsletter for more information. We hope to see you all there!!!

We have a number of exciting things planned for 2022. The Board has been busy putting together the schedule for next year. We have two seminars planned, one in the April and one in August. We are also introducing a new painting technique in February and re-visiting a technique taught at a seminar given by Linda Sharp. More information will be forthcoming, so check back to see what you have to look forward too. 

There are still opening for monthly Paint-in projects, so if you have ideas or suggestions, please let the the Board know.

(Pay SDP dues directly to the Society.)
