PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Susan Parrett
Dear Fellow Members,
First of all, I would like to thank you for allowing me the op-
portunity to be your president for the next two years. I’m
sure I will need lots of help, and I know I can depend on all
of you to provide it.
On that note, we need a new historian. It’s not a difficult job,
just taking pictures at GCDA events & keeping photo al-
bums. Please let me know if you would be interested.
We have a great year ahead, full of new painting classes
and fun. Already, the days are slowly getting longer, which
encourages me to believe Spring will soon be here. And, of
course, Spring means another great painting retreat. Our
retreat committee has been working diligently to assure that
this year’s retreat will be a terrific weekend! If you haven’t
signed up yet, don’t put it off. We want you to be part of the
fun!
See you at our February meeting!
Susan Parrett

PROGRAM REPORT Sandie Tieman, VP Programs Hi Ladies, First and foremost, I would like to thank Pat Hull for teaching after the January meet-ing. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay and paint, but I have heard that it was a wonder-ful class. Pat helped me out greatly as I was struggling to find someone to teach for the month of January. Speaking of which, if anyone would like to volunteer NOW for January of 2014, please let me know. :) After the February meeting, we have Linda Whaley teaching a pen & ink project. This will be the first time Linda has taught for our Chapter, so everyone please lend her your support and sign up! You will find the registration form in this newsletter. Jan Bowen is teaching in March and will have her project to display at the meeting. The pro-gram schedule is also in the newsletter for the remainder of 2013. I am happy and excited to announce that we have secured Robert Warren for a 2 day special seminar. The dates will be Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st, so be sure to mark your calendars. There will be another special seminar sometime in September, and I will forward that information on as soon as it's a done deal. And last but not least, I would like to thank Stephanie for her service and dedication as President of our Chapter. Without members like Stephanie who are willing to give of their time and energy, our Chapter would not survive. Congratulations to all the new elect-ed officers as well, I know we are in good hands and will continue to do what is needed to keep our Chapter alive and well. Hope to see you all at the meeting, in the meantime, be safe, be happy and be paintin'!!
