May 1, 2010 - Meeting-Paint In

We will be painting greeting cards for our military in Iraq after tomorrow's meeting. Pat will be teaching and will bring the supplies, you just need to bring your regular painting supplies - brushes, palette, etc. We will meet at 10 am and will start painting immediately after. Don't forget to bring a dish for lunch.

We also have several items that we need to make decisions on, such as teachers for the fall and 2011. If you are planning to participate in the Craft Show this year, we will need for you to sign up. We also will discuss the Raffle, whether we plan to paint the Nativity Scene. At this point we will need someone to cut out the wood pieces. And the final thing will be who will be teaching Christmas ornaments for the Annual Christmas in July Ornament Classes. This is such a fun time for everyone and we can't do all of the ornaments in one day so we will do this for two months. Check the schedule to your left. There is no fee for these classes, just a small amount to cover the cost of supplies from the teachers. We invite any member of the chapter to teach.

I would also ask that members become a follower of the blog so you can get an automatic update by email. Simply click on the "Follow" button, follow the prompts and you will show up as a follower. Right now I don't believe we have anyone in the chapter as a follower.

Hope to see yall there tomorrow.

April Meeting and Paint In

Not a big meeting this month, many were unable to attend and we still have several members on the mend. The ones that did come enjoyed painting on Tyvek paper. And, of course, everyone's painting came out pretty. Thanks, Mary, for teaching this class. Next month Pat Hutchins will bring in all the supplies to paint or stamp greeting cards for the troops in Iraq.

Already one fourth of the year has passed us by. We still have a lot of items to discuss so please try to attend the May meeting. Some things we need to finalize -
1. Are we going to host the booth at Wright Street Methodist Church?
2. Are we going to have a community raffle and if so what will we raffle?
3. What seminars are we planning to host this year and next year?

These are items that need to be discussed and settled. So come prepared, if you have suggestions please feel free to voice them. We need input from everyone. I will post more towards the end of the month.
