Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine Day. Our meeting last week was interesting. Our new board has some work to do. Thank you Margaret, for teaching the Long Leg Chickens. It was a lot of fun. It is great to be able to paint something without a lot of stress involved. Next month Janice will teach the Dishcloth Angel. I will add more info once I have spoken with her. By now, you should have received an email with the attached list of pencils Pat Lentine will be using in her seminar class scheduled in April.
As a reminder to members, please read the booklet-directory you receive when you become a member of the club. It is the same one we update every year with new members home address and phone numbers. When we vote to have a certain teacher come in for a seminar Linda will request photos of the subjects she is willing to teach. When the teacher sends the photos Linda will put them out for the members to vote on. If you vote on a project you are saying that if that project receives the most votes and is selected, you will take that class. It is the only way the club can be assured we will have enough students to justify paying the teacher to come. If you decide you can not take the class for whatever reason - once you have voted and signed your name to that class you are responsible for paying for that class. However, it is your class and your right to sell it to another painter. If you voted for a project and it was not selected, you are not responsible for paying the seminar fee. Jackie has asked for a board meeting this month and there will be a discussion on this at the next meeting I am sure, so be prepared to voice your concerns at that time.
What has happened in the past is over and done with - let's look forward to a future of lots of painting and good times. In the meantime, have a wonderful Valentine's Day with the ones you love.
