Happy New Year Everyone,

Our Christmas Party at the Biscuits and Hogs was a great success. We had a good turnout, good food and good company. What more can you ask for. The Christmas raffle drawing was won by Terry. The White elephant gift exchange was fun and surprising as usual.

The Board has been working hard to set up the painting schedule for 2024. We will have Bobbie Takashima for the spring seminar in April and are working on the fall seminar.

Looking forward to see you in the new year.
