Golden Spike Decorative Painters

2023 October Newsletter

Hello ladies,

Terry taught the Autumn bucket in September. We had a good turnout and all the buckets looked really great.

The seminar with Michele is only a couple of weeks away.

Check the newletter for a list of paints and supplies. We will notify everyone when and where they can get their rooster.

The only prep work is sanding and sealing and more sanding. NOTE: Any remaning seminar balance must be paid when you pickup your rooster.

We are leaving our November paint-in open for those who need to finish their rooster. If you have completed it, you may bring any Unfinshed project you have to work on.

We have scheduled our Annual Christmas party. It will be Saturday December 9^th at 3pm. More information to come so keep the date open.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at this long awated seminar.

Terry

2024 Elections

GSDP will vote on new officers this fall.

That task is completed, and the appointed officers have taken us through the first half a year.
