President’s Message
A lovely summer greeting to everyone. Fall is just around the cor-ner and we will be in the home stretch to get things ready for our fundraiser on October 13th. Please be sure to get your List of Guests to Pam and pay for your table in advance at the August meeting. Also all donated baskets for the raffle must have a list of items inside for Barb to display. All Silent Auction Pieces need to be turned into Charlene soon and let her know the name of the piece and it’s size. All boutique items need to be priced for sale.
I’m sure there is a million other things that need to be “buttoned-up” before the big day arrives. Be sure to contact Barb to see what else she may need.

General Meeting June 20, 2018
The meeting was called to order by President, Sandy Bagger at 7:00 PM The minutes from the April General Meeting were approved with no additions or correc-tions.
Reports
The Treasurer’s report was approved as published in the newsletter.
Old Business
Cheryl Byrd volunteered to be the 2018 Hostess. Barb Popov placed a sign-up sheet for members to list the food they would like to bring to the summer picnic, August 15th. Sandy Bagger reported that there is no theme for this year’s Toll Month. Bring painted entries to the August meeting or to the library in October. The date for set up will be ad-vised later. Memory Boxes are being accepted by Henry Ford Hospital. Sandy will have a sheet for members to log the boxes they took and the ones they brought back.
New Business
Jean Michael reported that the website is operational and has a new format with Word-press. Switching to Wordpress, we saved $96 annually with the current program. This program is easier to work with and provides stats on number of views. Some board members will be taught to add documents, blogs and pictures to the website. Jean Michael printed a business card sample that was handed out to members. We can get 500 cards printed from Avery for $35, which is less cost than purchasing card stock and ink. Tess Richardson motioned to purchase the cards from Avery and second by Janet Keathley. Motion passed. A poll was taken to see if there was enough interest in the Birch Trees and Flowers in alcohol ink. There were a good number of those interested. A date will be set for after the Colors of Fall. (Minutes continued on page 5)

Barb Popov suggests that you check out the email from SDP which includes a
video on how to do "Funky Chicken" brush strokes. It is quite a good video and
maybe not everyone saw it or watched it.
