2022 December Newsletter
Happly
Holidays Everyone,
Our
Christmas Partry will be Saturday December 10th
at noon at the Union
Grill in
Ogden. We will have the
Christmas raffle drawing for all who purchased tickets. There will be
several other prizes for those in attendance. And we will have a
White elephant gift exchange. So save the date and plan on joining
us.
We are
working on the schedule for next year. Already we have both seminars
scheduled as well as several Paint-in classes. Keep checking the
newsletter for more information. If you have ideas for projects or
would like to teach a paint-in class, please let one of the Board
members know.
The Club House at Westwood Village will be remodeled in January, so the
only date we could use it is January 28.
That is only 2 weeks before our scheduled February Paint-in. So the
Board decided that instead of painting, we should use that time to
meet as a Chapter to discuss our Chapter's future. As most of you
know, a lot has been happened at SDP National in the last few months,
and what happens to them will affect all of the Chapters. We encourage all of our members to attend the
meeting on January 28th, and there will be Pizza for lunch. (See below for more information).
Ladies,
make no mistake, this is important and we need as many members as
possible to attend.

January
Chapter Business Meeting and Pizza Party
Date:
January
28th
(Saturday) 10 am
The
last few years SDP has been in financial trouble what with falling
membership numbers, rising costs and internal problems. This year it
became apparent that they could not continue as they had been and
they have been looking into their options, everything from desolving
both SDP and the Foundation to merging them onto one organization
with reduced functions. We will update you with the infomation we
have received and where things stand as of now.
What
ever the results, all Chapters will be affected, but the future will
mean changes. SDP has offered us some information about what we might
expect and will need to do to. We will also share this information
with you.
Then
comes the most important part of the discussion: What
do we as members want to do? Do
we want to dissolve the Chapter or continue on in some other form, and if
so what? These are important decisions that need to be made and the
Board cannot
do
it without the input and approval of the membership. We need all of
our members to participate. For those of you who can make it to the
meeting, the Chapter will provide a Pizza lunch. If you cannot attend
but want to participate, you can email me your concerns, questions,
ideas and suggestions at (tpulver1@weber.edu) and I will present
them to the membership. You will be missed, your voice will be heard,
but you won't get pizza. To repeat----
Ladies,
this is important
and
we need as many members as possible to attend.
The Meeting will be held at the Westwood Village Clubhouse (1111 N. 2000 W., Farr West, UT).Take I-15 #346 and go north on 2000 W/UT-126 0.6 of mile. The Clubhouse is on the west side of the street with parking on the west side of the building.
