Utah Guild of Heritage Artists: July 2018 Newsletter

Hi Ladies,

I hope you have had a fun July with the holidays. We always take the month of July off.

Wasn't retreat so much fun? Maridene and her board did an amazing job and we had so much fun! I also just realized that I forgot the forget-me-not cookies I was supposed to bring. Ha Ha. Everything about retreat was so awesome from the food to the projects and especially the company. Thank You Maridene and crew. I have the stuff that I painted out to look at and I smile every time I see what I was able to complete.

Our August Opening Social will be held on Saturday, August 18th, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at my house, 939 East Old English Road (about 13500 South 939 East, Draper, UT). We have so many fun things planned for the rest of the year and all of the sign-up sheets will be out at the August social, so please plan to attend and see what the rest of the year holds. If you haven't already done so, please RSVP to me!

Our service project baskets will also be out in August, so if you have anything that you would like to contribute to our baskets, please get it to me as soon as possible. I am at Glenna's fairly regularly, and you can leave it there with a note, or bring it out to me, or I can meet you. Let me know. I could really use some help on these baskets. I am in need of jewelry and patterns and paints and brushes and anything else you think we could put in any of these five baskets that painters like us would love.

I am looking forward to the rest of the year. It has been a joy being your president this year.

Service Project Baskets

We need your help with our service project! If you have any jewelry or patterns or paints and brushes, or even tassels or painted pieces that you would like to donate, it would be appreciated.

Contact our Presdent Lisa Peck if you are able to help in any way. We will have five baskets we will be drawing for in December at our Christmas party and you do not have to be present to win. They are:

The Jewelry basket

Michele Walton basket

Hazel Rimmasch basket

Karen Hubbard basket

The Beaded Stars basket

Remember that all monies made from these baskets will be donated to Huntsman Cancer Center.

Retreat Follow-up

We all had so much fun at retreat. Thank you to everyone who helped out! Maridene wrote to companies and so many of them donated products to us for our giveaways. The list is here so if you can support these businesses and purchase your supplies from them, that would be awesome!
