Happy
Holidays Everyone,
I want
to take time to thank all the Board members and all the GSDP members
who have helped make this last year a success. It takes all of us to
get things done and as President, I really have appreciated all of
your efforts. Thank you again and I hope you all have a happy Holiday
Season.
Our
Christmas Partry will be Saturday December 9th
at 3 pm at the Biscuits
and Hogs in
Ogden. So save the date, RSVP,
and plan on joining us. We would love to see as many of you as can
make it.
The
Board has been working hard to set up the painting schedule for 2024.
We would like more input from our members about next year's
Paint-ins and Seminars. What kind and style of projects would you
like to paint? Who would you like as teachers? Would you willing to
teach a class and if so, what would you teach? Contact any of the
Board members with your ideas.
