Letter from our President
Hi Ladies!
Wasn't Saturday awesome? I thank Cheri Ringger for taking the time
to come and teach us "The Little Engine That Could." We had some FUN pieces
that were painted on and I was sad that I had to leave early. It is FUN to
see everyone's imaginations come out in the inventive pieces you are choosing
to paint on. Also, thank you to Betty for the great food and amazing raffles
that she does! The raffles are really turning out to be a FUN event
all by themselves!
We got a really great preview of Retreat on Saturday and it
is so exciting. The theme is "Alaska - Land of the Midnight Sun".
There are so many FUN projects to choose from, like whales and huskies
and puffins and northern lights. If you have not had a chance to see the
projects then I encourage you to come in April and May to at least check them
out. You might have to sign up for one of everything!
Our Michele seminar is going to be a lot of FUN,
also. We are going to be meeting at Glenna's painting house. The piece is really
beautiful and I can't wait to paint it. Remember that breakfast and lunch are
included in the seminar cost. Come by and see us even if you are not painting
the project. It will be a great opportunity to see what's coming up.
Our service project will be unveiled in May and it is going
to be FUN. We are doing five beautiful baskets and you will be able to
contribute to the special raffle every month to the end of the year. The
tickets will be $1.00 each and all money is donated to the Huntsman Cancer
Institute. We will be drawing for these baskets at our December Christmas party
and you do not need to be present to win.
I hope to see everyone in April, even if you just stop by to
say Hi! Thank you to everyone who works so hard to keep things running smooth.
I could not do this without all of you!
See you soon!

Service Project
Hi ladies,
We are putting together some beautiful baskets for our SERVICE PROJECT and I am looking for donations. If you have any handcrafted jewelry that you would like to donate, one of the baskets is a jewelry box full of handcrafted jewels! We are also looking for donated paints and paintbrushes and Karen Hubbard Patterns and Michele Walton patterns and Hazel Rimmasch patterns or pieces. I know this gives you a little idea of the kind of baskets we are doing, and it is really going to be FUN. There will be five beautiful baskets to choose from, so there is still a little bit of surprise for you!
Ladies, you are so generous in all you do! Thank you so
much. Remember that all monies collected in this special raffle will be donated
to Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Thank you for all of your help.

May 19th Project - 9:00 am
In May we will be doing a beautiful Norwegian bowl by Gary Albrecht. It is a piece from the Decorative Painter from 1993, and I am excited to see what we can all come up with. Gary's bowl is black and red, but this can be easily translated to other colors if you wish. We can put our heads together and figure it out. This will be fun.
