October 2018 Newsletter

President's Letter

Hi Gals,

Can you believe that it is October already?

We have some fun things happening to finish off the year, so mark your calendars.

Nola is teaching the turkey this month. She will be teaching the owl at the same time for those who want that. We will be multi-tasking painters. If you missed out on the wood order, the turkey is painted on the small gas pump sign from cupboard distributing.

Jan Pecharich is teaching the Santa from Helan Barrick in November. She is teaching this on a big, wooden bell, and if you want a bell I need to know ASAP. I have 5 people that have ordered new bells, so if you are one of those you can relax. There are also a bunch of us that have bells already, so if you are one of those, you can still relax. If you do not fall into either category and you would like a bell, I need to know soon!

Our Christmas party sign-up is in full swing, and you are going to want to get your name on the list. We are having it catered and we will be at Lisa Peck's home. It will be on December 15th this year, which is our normal paint weekend, but a change for the Christmas party. Mark your calendars! We will start at noon and we are having the ornament exchange, so start looking, painting, beading, papering, sewing THE ornament that everyone wants now. It is always a challenge to do something that everyone would love.

Our service project baskets are also out now, and you can get your tickets for those for one dollar each, and each basket has tons of goodies in it. If you know people that are interested and would like to participate but are not members of chapter, they are welcome. Remember that all monies for this special raffle will be donated to Huntsman Cancer in the guild's name.

Elections are coming up, and we would love to have you on the board. Contact Glenna to let her know you are willing to help out.

I am going to be past president soon and I am still looking for a theme for retreat next year. I know that I want hedgehogs to be a part of that, but not all hedgehogs. If you can think of a fun theme, please let me know.

Thank you for all you do to help out. We have an amazing chapter and we have so much fun when we get together.

September 2018 Newsletter

Hi Ladies,

August opening social was so much fun! Thank you so much for your help with the baskets for our service project. I think I am seeing stars in my dreams. Ha Ha. I will have those at chapter meetings throughout the rest of the year, so have your donations for tickets ready. The small cabinet that Michele Walton painted for us is truly beautiful. Remember that all monies made on these baskets will go to Huntsman Cancer Center.

The last half of our year is really going to be fun! Glenna is teaching the Boo Box in September, and that will be on your own wood piece, so I guess it could be a Boo plate, if you wanted. Nola is teaching the Owl and the Turkey in October. The Owl is a quick paint project, so Nola will teach both at the same time. I also know that some of you have already painted the owl. I have already ordered wood for those who have signed up for it. If you missed signing up, I may have an extra piece of wood for the first to call it. Jan Pecharich is teaching the Helan Barrick Santa Bell in November, and we have had sign-ups for the bells. Jan is making some new bells for those who wish, but we need to know asap, so we can get those ordered.

Our Christmas party is on December 15th at my house. The cost is $25.00, and we are having it catered. We are also doing the ornament exchange, again. Start looking for that ornament that will thrill everyone now! We always laugh and have such a fun time at the Christmas party. I hope everyone can make it this year.

I just got off the phone with SDP and I apologize to all of you for the confusion with the membership cards. If you have not received your card yet, e-mail Lydia at SDP and she will send you an e-mail copy of it. Lydia said that they had quite a problem getting the cards out this year, and many did not receive them. The cost was getting to be too much to resend them, so they are just doing e-mail copies now. I am sorry for the confusion, Ladies. I may need a do-over on that one.

Elections are coming up, and any of you that are willing to serve, your help would be much appreciated. We have a great time as a board and would love to have you join us. Let me know if you are willing to help out.

I am also looking for suggestions for next years retreat. I know I want to have hedgehogs be a part of it, so if your imaginations come up with a fun theme, let me know. "Alice in Wonderland" was suggested and also a "Back to Nature" theme. Let me know if you think of something fun.

Thank you so much for all of the help that you give and I am looking forward to more painting fun with you.

Lisa Peck

Please note: We will be adding photos of the projects as soon as we get them!

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.

Lisa Peck

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!
