February 2017 Newsletter

Please note:  The February meeting on Saturday, Feb. 18, has been cancelled.  Glenna's mother-in-law passed away this week and the funeral is on Saturday.  We will reschedule the apple basket class for another time and Judy will mail out the patterns for next month to those who have signed up.  All of our hears go out to Glenna at this time.  

Hi Ladies,

Even though the weather was terrible in January, a few souls managed to make it to the meeting.  Even our teacher, Sandra Boyer, all the way from Springville.  We did have a great time.  Huge thanks go out to Glenna and hubby for clearing snow for us.  They worked before the meeting and then after as well to help us get home.  So above and beyond what is expected.

This month should be great as well with Lisa doing Michelle Walton’s apple bowl.  I know that I am really looking forward to the class.  Lisa said at Michelle’s seminar it was a Wednesday project and everyone finished that evening.  Lisa had to order the wood so far ahead that there are extra pieces for anyone who was unable to sign-up.  Please contact Lisa or myself if you are interested.  The price is $38.00.  Even if you are not painting the piece please stop by so we can all remain connected.

We did have a vote on the project that Judy Diephouse will be teaching in October.  Check out the list and pictures below for upcoming projects.  The year is really off to a good start.

Happy Painting

Judy Graham

President's Message

Hi Ladies,

Hope you had a great holiday.  I did, but now it is time to be thinking about the New Year.  

I want to thank the past board for making 2016 a great year.  I know how much work goes into managing a group like this and so appreciate all that they did.  The Christmas Luncheon was great as usual and we had fun exchanging gifts.  I am sure glad everyone is a good sport about changing gifts when asked but it always seems like everyone goes home with something wonderful.

I am going to really try and have signups go early so that we can have the wood and patterns available at the meeting the month before the project is taught so it is easier for everyone to get ready for the next month.  Because the luncheon was earlier in the month the January wood was not there.  Surprisingly it actually arrived at my home that afternoon and as such we are still working on getting everyone covered. I do have one extra piece of wood for the January project so call me if you want it.  If you just want the pattern, call me and I will make an extra copy.

The wood for February is already here and will be at the January meeting for those who need it for February.  

The seminar schedule is as follows:

• January 21 – Valentine Tier taught by Sandra Boyer
• February  18 – Apple Box taught by Lisa Peck
• March 18 – Birds and Flowers taught by Brenda Stott – Furnish your own wood
• April 15 – Rosemaling Tree taught by Kristen Birkeland
• May 20 – Rosemaling basket taught by Tirzah Probasco
• June  – Retreat
• July – Vacation
• August – Opening Social
• September 16 - Halloween plate taught by Glenna Nielson
• October 21 - Seminar with Judy Diephouse
• November 18 - Santa plate taught by Cheri Ringger
• December - Christmas Social

Personally I am looking forward a fun filled painting year.  Hope to see everyone at our meeting on January 21.

Business Report

At the opening social in August we had a vote on raising the dues to $25.00. It passed unanimously. We had a quorum and there were no dissenting votes. Starting the 2017 year we will pay $25.00 a year for UGHA dues and we will continue to get the awesome teachers that we have been getting. Our next board meeting for all of the UGHA board members is September 26, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. at Hoppers.  Dues for 2017 can be paid anytime starting in September.  Loretta has a credit card reader, so all transaction can now be conveniently done by credit card if desired.

Fall Social
Thanks to leadership and to Lisa Peck for a fun, and tasty fall social.  Saturday, August 20, we met at 11:00am at Lisa Peck's home.  We all created a make-it-and-take-it beaded bracelet (each unique and fitted to the maker), ate great food catered by Cafe Rio (great Key Lime Pie and Dulce Leche), and scored (sometimes) in a challenging trivia game created by Betty V.P;  and just had a fine time chatting and catching up on everyone's summer.  It was a great way to start our fall painting time, I know I enjoyed seeing everyone and hearing about their vacations, and family events.

In Memory
It was with great sadness that we all learned that we had lost a good friend this summer.  June Skollingsberg passed away Wednesday, July 27, 2016. June had been diagnosed with esophageal and stomach cancer and had begun her treatment.  She suffered a massive stroke on July 23, which put her into a coma.  She passed away peacefully after receiving excellent care.
June was a talented painter and teacher, quilter, and loved fiber arts.  She attended many seminars over the years and had a large network of friends.  She will be missed.
