Message From Your President

Hi Ladies!

Welcome to May and where has the time gone? 

Wasn't the Michele Seminar fun? The trays are really beautiful and we all got mostly done. Michele is going to come on a Thursday night for those who wish to finish up the tray. Jan will send out an email letting us know when this will happen. Thanks so much Michele.

I am looking forward to retreat. I would encourage those of you who haven't had the chance, to come by and sign up. The projects are really fun and the food is always great and the company can't be beat! Maridene has so many fun things happening, you will be sad if you miss this.

I am still looking for donations for the service project this year. We have five gift baskets. I am looking for Karen Hubbard patterns to go with the plate painted by Karen, that was so generously donated to us. I am also looking for jewelry to go in the treasure chest, so pull out your beads and get to work! I have a lot of fun jewelry already, but am looking for the beautiful handmade treasures that you ladies do. I am also looking for Hazel Rimmasch patterns to go with the beautiful cabinet that Hazel painted. The Michele basket may have a painted Michele piece in it. That will be a surprise, but I am looking for patterns, books, paints, etc. for that basket. I need your help Ladies!

We are painting the Gary Albrecht Bowl in May, (I hope), but for those who have not signed up, please bring your other projects and paint with us. Or bead with us. Or visit with us. We love to see each and every one of you. Let us know if you are coming so that we can plan food. Thanks. Everyone is welcome even if you are not painting.

Thanks Ladies!

May 19th Project - 9:00 am

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.

SERVICE PROJECT HELP NEEDED!

The baskets will be out beginning in August at opening social, but I could still use the help getting things to go in the baskets. 

Tickets are $1:00 each and you have to remember to write your name on them. You do not need to be present to win. You can purchase tickets throughout the rest of the year and we will draw for the winners at the Christmas party in December. December will be your last chance to purchase tickets, though. 

Let's do a great service this year!  REMEMBER THIS IS FOR HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTER.

What a great way to help all of our loved ones who have ever or will ever battle this disease.

Retreat 2018 - Alaska, land of the midnight sun!

I am so excited for the retreat on June 14, 15, & 16.  We have 14 people who have signed up and we are going to have a fun time.  Remember it is at JoLynn's Cabin - we thank JoLynn for graciously letting us use her cabin. 

We will be handing out the patterns and surfaces at the May meeting, so please make sure you come so that you can pick up your projects!

If you have any questions, please call me!    Your Retreat Chair - Maridene Alexander (801) 831-7224
