President’s Message President’s Message President’s Message President’s Message Linda KohlerLinda KohlerLinda KohlerLinda Kohler It’s amazing how fast the time goes! Here we are in early Autumn already,
headed toward the holidays! October is such a beautiful month, with an explo-
sion of color, crisp air, and football games. Many of us are scurrying to start or
finish holiday pieces to sell or give as gifts. This is a busy and exciting time of
the year!
Our September meeting was wonderful! Keith Maupin, from the Yellow Ribbon Support Founda-
tion, had lunch with us and talked about his program. If you were there, then you know how in-
teresting his stories were! He talked about his son who was captured and didn’t make it home.
Mr. Maupin, helped us realize just how important support from us here “at home” is to the well-
being of the soldiers serving our country. And we filled his van to the top with our donations!
Thanks to all who helped, and especially to Peggy Hermes – “the hostess with the mostess!”
Our “Fun Fall” continues with more events! We will be painting our new nametags at the Octo-
ber meeting. They are shaped like a painter’s palette, with brushes sticking out above and be-
low. Bring your ideas and paint with you to work on this! We will also have a young man from
Starfire visit us with his caseworker, and will help us paint walker bags. He will then take them
back with him to hand out. November 1 is the retreat preview party, and elections are the next
Sunday at our monthly meeting on November 8. And don’t forget the Christmas party on Sun-
day, December 13! It’s nice to be able to share all these events with such a caring group of la-
dies!

ing in six (6) hand painted ornaments or painting a raffle basket is a requirement for you to obtain Member in Good
Standing for next year. (There are other requirements you must meet as well. Please refer to the ChaptersStanding
Rules; they are defined under item 7. Item 8 describes the benefits of obtaining Member in Good Standing status.)
The following members brought in ornaments: Joan Bruce, Carol Cole, Kim Kohler and Jean Sanning. You
all did a great job on them! Below is the basket painted by Jo Sharpshair and brought to the September meeting. It
is adorable!
Please contact me for Raffle tickets to sell. I will have them at the next meeting or if you need some sooner, contact
me to make arrangements to get them. Raffle ticket sales are the second largest fundraiser we have for the chapter

GCDA SERVICE
Peggy Hermes, Coordinator
Dear GCDA Members,
Thank you sooooo very much for your generosity to the Yellow Ribbon Center and for being gracious and
friendly hostesses!!! You all ROCK!! It was really great to load up Keith Maupin’s van last meeting with
so much STUFF!! Both the conversations and food were sensational! It’s easy being the Service Chair
when chapter members provide such wonderful support!
Our October Meeting is the Official Service Meeting, and
Robert and Candace from Starfire Council of Greater Cin-
cinnati will be attending our meeting. They will stay for
lunch and help paint the rest of the Walker Bags. Please
bring your painting gear and stencils. I will also bring
stencils and plenty of paint. Robert will take the painted
bags with him to distribute to the Residents of the Nursing
Home where he volunteers.
Thanks again for your support. I am so proud to be part
of such a giving chapter!!
Peggy

What is the Starfire Council of Greater Cincinnati?
Starfire is focused on decreasing the social isolation felt
by people with disabilities. The study below was done by
Jack Peeler in the 1990s. He asked 51 people with disa-
bilities, "Who's in your life?"; and the results were this
startling picture of isolation. As you can see, out of all the
people in a person's life, friends and other citizens com-
prised the smallest number by far. That's why at Starfire,
we are challenged to change this picture by helping peo-
ple with disabilities and their families connect to a network
of friends, neighbors, and others in their community.
Working with one person at a time, we believe we can de-
crease people's sense of loneliness, and work toward a
good life.

October Program Report Emily Stamm, VP Programs
The month of September has passed quickly! There have been so many things to do-lots of fall activities, craft show season be-
ginning, fall sports, GCDA activities--makes me think that I better start painting for the holidays!
Our September meeting was a canvas painting class taught by Sandie Tieman. Thank
you so much Sandie, for sharing your talents with us. The class was well attended and
enjoyed by all!
Stephanie Hauser taught a 6-hour seminar on Saturday, September 19. The project,
called “Cat and Company” was a gourd painted with Acrylics. 16 people attended this
second seminar of the year! Thank you to Stephanie for all of the work that was put into
making the class very successful!
Our October meeting will be our Service Project/Painting meeting. We will also paint
our nametags as time permits. Thanks to Peggy Hermes for getting the service project
together for us!
I will be teaching the November class project. Please look for the project information/
registration form in this newsletter. The class is a galvanized steel Christmas ornament
painted with multi-surface acrylics. Please sign up by November 5th.
Thank you for all of your suggestions, help and support in planning our programs. I have
scheduled the monthly programs for 2016. It is wonderful that we have so many members
willing to share their talents with us! Please come to our monthly meetings and take classes
and seminars!
Happy Painting!
