Hello Chapter Members,

Summer is almost over, yeah!!! Can’t

wait for the fall!!!! My favorite time of the

year.

We had a great chapter and business

meeting in August. Jeanetta Cimo was an

awesome teacher. We had a great time

painting with her, my favorite, a Halloween

project.

In our meeting, we had a discussion

about using the $250.00 we normally

budget for the museum and donate it to

SDP so that they can ship the museum piece

back to SDP. It has caused a great big

expense for them and they need our help. It

was voted and passed, so

we will be sending them

that money.

Fliers were passed

out for our auction.

Thank you, Nicole, for

putting it together, and

Joe Palmer for printing

them for us. We need to

have all painted auction

pieces by our next chapter

meeting, so please bring

them and give them to

me.

We only have a few weeks after our

September chapter meeting to pull the

auction together. October 13 is the big day,

only 2 months away. I Still can’t believe how

fast this year has flown by! Wow!!!

We also are having a pot luck that day.

Sheila Hughes is taking the sign ups for it. If

you can bring something, let her know.

Thank you.

And don’t forget to invite your friends

and families. Last year was so successful.

We want it to be that way again this year.

The more we have, the better it will be. It

should be a great and fun day, like it was

last year.

Next month the new slate of officers

will be announced. Calls are already in

progress. Remember we need a new board.

Please find it in your hearts to step up and

serve in such a rewarding way.

I loved serving as your president. There

have been ups and downs, but I’ve felt very

honored and blessed in serving each of you.

I’ve developed some great friendships being

in this chapter and have a great love for

each of you. I’m looking forward to serving

you in other area of this

chapter and passing the

gavel to our new

president, whoever that

may be.

I hope to see you

all at our next chapter

meeting. I’m looking

forward teaching you

another Jamie Mills

Price project, a

snowman.⛄

If you haven’t

signed up to paint, call

Cathy Frazier.

Keep painting and smiling. Most of all,

be happy. See you all soon.

Your friend,

Gwen Palmer

Pro g r am s Hello Ladies,

Well the August workshop went really well and our

visiting teacher from California, Jeanetta Cimo, did an

excellent job teaching her own design, Trick or Treat

Pumpkins. Everyone’s turned out so adorable and we all

had a lot of fun! Thank you again, Jeanetta, for coming to

our chapter and teaching.

In September: Gwen

Palmer will be teaching an

adorable snowman design

by Jamie Mills Price. I

think it’s safe to say, pretty

much all of us love Jamie’s

designs and Gwen does an

awesome job of teaching

them. In fact, if you’ve

been to Gwen’s house you

will see about half of her

paintings are Jamie’s

designs. The price of this

workshop is only$15.00 and the wood can be ordered

from Sheila Hughes for $10.50.

In October: Sheila

Hughes will be teaching a

Sandi Streaker design. A

very cute Chunky Witch

Boot. This project is a must

have to add to your

Halloween decorations.

This paint-in will only cost

$10.00 plus the price of the

wood. This class is very

easy and will be loads of

fun. The wood can be

ordered from Sheila

Hughes.

If you have any questions feel free to give me a call.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Thank you,

Cathy Frazier

Hello Ladies,

It’s that lovely time of year again to pay your chapter

dues.

Please hand me your chapter dues at the next meeting

in September or you can mail them to me.

I do have a form for you all to fill out as I need to

update some of your information.

SDP is offering an early bird incentive for their

national dues. If paid by Aug. 31st, you will receive 3 free e

-patterns.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me

know!

By now many of you have received a call from Dana,

Shayron, or me about running for office next year. These

positions are not tied into your painting abilities or how

long you've belonged to the chapter.

You have all worked or managed a household and

that's all you need for experience. If you decide to run for

treasurer, you need to have a handle on money matters.

You can be a newbie or long-standing chapter member.

We will also need committee chairs. These are all one-

year positions with the option of running for a second

term.

Please consider helping the Chapter in some way. We

cannot run a volunteer organization on the same few

people. It's a great way to get involved and meet lots of

members!

To l e M o n t h

The dates for placing our items in the libraries is

Tues, Sept 18th. We need all the help we can get for this.

The hand painted items should be about 12 -15" tall. If

you bring a flat picture, please submit a stand large

enough to hold it up. Smaller items will need smaller

stands. Also, put a name on your stands.

If you are submitting something that someone else

painted, make sure you put your name on it or it may go

back to the original painter!

You must complete a form required by the libraries

for insurance purposes.

We will remove the displays on Tues, Nov 1st. Both

days we start at 10:30 at Rainbow Library, then move to

the Summerlin Library. Any questions, please call me.
