President's Message - April

If you are needing to order the Bentwood box for the May project, I need to get the order to DePalma’s by April 8^th. Let Gail know and get her a check or Venmo her ASAP so we can order them. You can, as always, use your own surface. The dimensions are 4 ¾” x 7 ½” x 3 ¾” high.

I am ready to get together and paint. Thanks to Loretta for teaching The CREATE banner/blocks. They were such fun. Loved the color Loretta used on her blocks. We are sending hugs to Loretta’s daughter who had surgery. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Kay is teaching the concrete cat this month. We just need to base coat in black. The cats are at Glenna’s studio ready for pick up, or you can come that day and base them if you don’t want to take back and forth.

In May Judy Graham is teaching a beautiful pattern on a bentwood box (optional surface).

Thanks to everyone who is stepping up to teach and help. We had a raffle in March and Jacque Illguth is helping with the raffle. Anyone who can bring items to donate to the raffle this month, please bring them.

If you can donate items to the Mother’s in shelters project we are going to need them at this April meeting in order to get them to the shelter by Mother’s Day. Please get them to the studio. They will accept artwork if you want to donate anything like that. I was going to get diapers and a few things like shampoo and conditioners.

Thanks in advance.

Marilyn Healy, UGHA President

Dear Painters:

I can’t wait to see what everyone painted from those that went to Las Vegas. We are ready to get back to meeting again. Loretta is teaching an Erika JoAnn design. I have all the little embellishments supplied: buttons, yarn, painted 2" round, frame for the letter "E.”

Kay Salisbury is teaching the concrete cat for April. Please let Gail know right away if you are signing up and how many you need so we can make sure to get enough poured and ready. I am painting one for my daughter. This would make a great gift. The cost is $20.

Judy will be teaching a beautiful floral box for May. The box will be $23.00. We will need to have these ordered by April 8th. The pattern will be $10. So please, let Gail know what you are signing up for and if you are getting a pattern or if you will be signing up for the surface as well. You can certainly use your own surface though. Just a reminder you can Venmo Gail at @GailJenson. Just use a smiley face in the description then message her what you paid for. You can mail her a check if you feel more comfortable with this method as well.

Hope to see you at the meeting. We will still be recording for those that cannot attend.

Happy painting!

Marilyn Healy, UGHA President
