Hello Chapter Members,
Happy June. Although the weather doesn’t
seem to cooperate, we are enjoying the cool May
we’ve had.
Your newsletter is the very best place to find
information about the chapter: meetings,
programs, teachers, and generally what’s
happening. We thank Dawn Rivard for her
attention to detail in producing this newsletter.
Earlier this year I gave sketchbooks to
everyone. (If you did not receive one, notify me.)
Please bring your
sketchbook to our
June chapter meeting.
By now you should
have a cover page
finished or ready to
design. There will be a
special table to place
them for all to see.
May’s meeting
was a huge success. We all came away with skills,
new friends, new paint brushes, and a greater
appreciation for all the teachers available to us.
Everyone who helped with hospitality is to
be commended. While Patty Clark is our
hospitality chairwoman, she definitely has been
wearing many hats of late (hospitality and
programs) and we appreciate everything she
does.
Pat Getteymeyer and I took care of the
Caring Place this month. We did Shayron
Monahan’s little penguin. The caring place ladies
enjoyed the project.
I can’t wait to hear
news from the SDP’s final
convention. It is sad to see
the end of an era, but
perhaps its time was over.
Looking forward to good
things from National in the
future.
Our June teacher for an adorable pot or
pumpkin is Tami Carmody. Good news—there is
no prep work!
Be sure to sign up
in advance for as many
months as you can. It
helps the teachers plan
if they know how many
students they will have.
Please answer the
call from committee
chairs to join them so
we can keep the
chapter running
smoothly. Mark your calendars. As you know
this chapter runs on volunteers.
The next board meeting will be on June 5, 11
a.m., at my home.
May I suggest you arrive early to our
June meeting and enjoy some camaraderie
before we get started? Visit the raffles, find your
place to paint, show and tells, and the
sketchbook table. Thanks again to everyone who
makes our chapter as good as it can be.
You’re painting friend,
Sheila Hughes

H o sp it al i t yA big thank you goes out to Evie, Pat G., Sue,
and Sheila for bringing delightful refreshments to
share in May.
We all appreciate the coffee and trimmings
that Sheila brings to each meeting. If you enjoy
coffee at the meetings, please think about
bringing some item along those lines to help.
For June it's sweet and non-sweet
refreshments. Dawn Rivard has signed up to
bring something non-sweet. If you are attending
in June, please consider
bringing something for
refreshments that puts a
smile on everyone's
faces. And thank you
ahead of time.

Greetings Chapter Members,
With our cool, wet spring,
hopefully we've all had a chance to
get a little more painting done than
usual. There are lots of projects to
finish up, seminar pieces to finish or
prep, and our own personal projects
to continue working on. Lately I've
been thinking about the fun of
painting the objects we collect. I
know some you like scouring thrift stores, antique shops
or eBay for your favorite things. Why not paint them too?
Raggedy Ann's or other dolls, antique kitchenware,
Americana, flags and other memorabilia would look great
with a painted piece displayed right along with them.
There are a lot of fun projects out there that would look
great for Fourth of July and could be displayed all
summer long.
Our June 8 class with Tami Carmody is coming up
quickly. There is no prep, and the paint is supplied. The
pumpkin vase, $10, and flower pot, $5, are available from
Tami on that day. Tami is asking that we come prepared
with a number 2 and 4 filbert. She will have some
available for purchase also. Glass painting brushes aren't mandatory, but if you have them,
bring them. Brushes of the softer variety, not too stiff, will be helpful.
July sign ups for Kaye Singer's class, “Mrs. Whoo-ligans,” designed by Lisbeth Stull, are
going on now. If you need your Halloween fix, here's your chance; our only Halloween project
this year. Prep sheets will be available at June chapter meeting, don’t forget to pick yours up.
At our August paint-in and business meeting, we are excited to have Mary Kate Erickson teaching us “Oyster Shell Santa,” also
a Lisbeth Stull pattern. The shell and embellishment packages will be available for $10 if you would like to purchase one.
Beginning in June we will also have the chance to sign up for “Merry Maker's Greeting,” a Jo Sonja Jansen design taught by
Mary Robinson in September. I, for one, am very interested to learn more about Jo Sonja’s style from one of our Chapter's long
time favorite teachers.
Remember, chapter meeting classes are $15, and paint-ins are $10, payable to me by the last Saturday of the month before
class. Thank you!
Happy Painting!

We had some wonderful
baskets last month and made
$67.00. We will have raffles
from Patty Clark, Sue Crumb
and Mary Davis for June. Also

a beautiful colored pencil
artwork.
