Ogden, Utah September 2008


Dear Painters,

        I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer. I’m so ready for some cool weather. I love the fall season. It will be here before we know it.

        I want to thank Kristen Birkeland for teaching her “Vegetable Basket Box”. She is an excellent teacher, it is always nice to have her come and teach at our chapter.

        We are looking forward this month to our seminar with Nancy Baur on the 12th and 13th. It should be a lot of fun. If you want to paint with her, you need to get you money in NOW.

        On October 11th, Nola Phillips will be teaching a “Snowman Sing-a-Glad Song Plate”....just in time for the holidays. The chapter will not be ordering plates, but if you need one contact Trizah at 825-2660. She has several plates on-hand and a number of catalogs that can be ordered from.

        Our Christmas Party will held December 13th. Mark your calendars. Sign ups will be taken at the September meeting.

        It is also that time of year for everyone to be thinking about how you can help to continue making this Chapter a success. Glenda Mitchell has volunteered to head the nominating committee. Elections are coming up and most of the board has served for two years. We need a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. I encourage each of you to run for an office next year. This Chapter needs everyone’s time and commitment so we can continue as a National Chapter and share Decorative Painting.

        Keep Painting.

        Nancy



Peach Days Display


This year again the Chapter will be participating in the window displays for Brigham City's Peach Days. (Two years ago we won the prize for the best window.) We invite ALL of our members to 'show off' their painting. We will be setting up the display Sept 3rd at 3pm in the Leavitts Insurance window at 86 S. Main Street. Plan on joining us in setting up the window and afterwards indulging in fresh peach pie. If you want to have items in the display, but cannot make to Brigham, you can drop your items off with any member of the board by Sept 2nd. The items will be on display until Sept 8th.

Nancy called the business meeting to order at 10:20 am and welcomed Kristin.

She encouraged everyone to sign up for the Nancy Baur Seminar next month. The sample pieces were on display. The Seminar cost includes the class fee, decoy and lunch. And there is no prep on the decoys.

Three of our members entered the Weber County Fair this year. Nancy won a blue ribbon with her Emperor and Nightingale Chest. Terry won 3 blue ribbons for her Raccoon chest, Moose antler, and wildlife Stein. And Eileen won a blue ribbon for her JoSonja table and the Best-in-Show Ribbon for her original Barn Toy Chest. Way to go Eileen!!!

Glenda still needs a few Treasure boxes to meet her goal of 40 that she wants to take to the Shriner's next week. Those who still have boxes outstanding are urged to get them finished and to Glenda as soon as possible. Lydia also reminded us that she needs more Memory boxes.

Nancy told us that Ronnie Bringle will be our spring 2009 seminar teacher and Bobbie Takashima will be our fall 2009 seminar teacher.

She also talked about the chapter having a Christmas booth at the Ogden Train Station for 3 or 4 weeks this November/December. The details are still being worked out. Anyone interested in selling stuff should start thinking about it. We will also need people to help with the booth.

Audry Roberts, from Brigham City, died May 15th of this year. She wanted her tole and fine art painting books donated to a local Tole Painting group. Her family contacted Nancy, and the results is the 3 boxes that Nancy brought today. Everyone is welcome to help themself. We thank Audry's family for this gift.

Finally, Nancy urged everyone to think about running for a Chapter ofice next year.

Time was turned over to Kristin. The meeting was closed at 2:30.
