I will have the actual prices with me at the January meeting. Remember, we need everyone’s help in keeping learning chances like these going. Thanks and let me know as soon as you can.

Have you recently completed a project at home, at a seminar,
at a convention, at another chapter, etc.? If the answer is YES,
please bring that item to an ODA chapter meeting and share it
during the “Show and Tell” portion of our meeting!
Why should you share your projects? There are many reasons
and the following are just a few:
• It keeps us all up to date on what is new and exciting
in the painting industry.
• It motivates chapter members to complete their own
projects.
• It introduces other members to different
artists/teachers and different painting styles.
• It allows you to share new techniques learned at
seminars and/or conventions.
• YOU EARN DECORATIVE DOLLARS!
So, everyone look through the projects you have recently
completed, pick out a couple of your favorites, and bring them
along to the next chapter meeting and share with your fellow
members.
ODA Chapter Cloisonné Pins are
still available for $10 each. Get
yours today!
Don’t forget to wear a nametag to the next
chapter meeting!

The Sunshine State Decorative Artists is a chapter of
the Society of Decorative Painters. This chapter was
formed for the purpose of having a state retreat. In
the year 1998 the first meetings were held with
representatives of many Florida chapters.
The focus of our retreat experience will always be on
decorative painting education, but no less important
is fellowship. This will be an opportunity to meet and
share experiences and ideas with painters from all
over the state as well as take classes with some of our
own talented Florida teachers.
More information on this retreat is available at
www.ssdaflorida.com.
