Ogden, Utah October 2008 Dear Painters, As Fall is rapidly approaching and the days are cooling down, I think of all of the wonderful places to live that has all of the seasons and I think Utah is the best. As the end of the year draws near, I'm reminded that we still have a lot to do. Our Nancy Baur Seminar was a success. What a great teacher. It was fun to paint something a little different from what we have been painting. Learning to color stains on wood has great possibilities for other projects. Thanks Nancy for a fun time. Thanks to each of you that helped with the lunches and clean up. I want to thank Tirzah Probasco for making all of the arrangements for Nancy. Also, Glenda Mitchell for coming in on Saturday to help with the lunch and clean up. This month’s teacher will be Nola Phillips. She will be teaching her "Snowman Plate." It is a very colorful piece and will be a lot of fun. There is still time to sign up........send your money to CarolAnn Smith. There has been change in the November project. Susan needs to be in Hawaii to help with her Mother-in-law. Terry Pulver will be teaching a beautiful box with cedar berries. It will make a great Christmas gift or just to keep. Our Christmas Party will be Saturday December 13th at 1:00 o’clock at the Senior Center. We will have a sign up sheet at the next paint in. Please be sure to sign up so that we can get a count. This month at our paint-in we will have pictures of Ronnie Bringle’s projects. We would like you to take a look and vote for the projects you would like her to teach at the Spring Seminar. If the project you vote for is selected, your vote will be a commitment that you will take the class. We realize that we don’t have the class fees and wood as of yet, but, we will keep them in line with prior seminars. When we decide which project(s) will be taught, we will need your deposit by Feb. 1st to hold your spot in class. This will be a two-day seminar. Election for next years Officers will be in November. It’s not too late to let one of the Officers know if you would like to run for an office. Our National and Chapter dues have to be paid by December 1st to avoid an additional $5.00 charge. You can pay them now......send Chapter dues to CarolAnn Smith. Until next month. Keep Painting. Nancy |

CarolAnn's daughter has been having a tough time recovering from a back injury. She
and her family have our hopes for a speedly recovery.
Did You Notice Our New Chapter Logo?
Back in Janurary we held a contest to paint a new logo for our Chapter, one that would better
reflect our Chapter name. Juanita Denton judged the submitted pieces and chose the one
submitted by Tirzah Probasco. The prize was one day free at the Nancy Baur Seminar. Since then
a bit of work was done to "tweak" the scanned image of the piece so that it would really show
up on our web site. We hope everyone is pleased with the results. We will now begin to use
the new logo on not just the web, but also name tags, signs, even business cards.
Senior Center
Nancy Snow, the activity coordinator at the Senior Center, will be retiring this September.
The Senior Center is giving her a farewell party Sept 29th at 1 pm. The Chapter thanks Nancy
for all her work on our behalf and we wish her all the best.

One of the directors of the hospital, Malissa Phillips, gave them a tour of the hospital.
She showed them where they make wheelchairs for the kids, the class room for children that
need to keep up with their studies, the PT room and where the children have surgery. They
were also shown the great big play room where the kids can run, yell and play games. Children
that don't need a wheelchair are pulled around the hospital in little red wagons.
The Shriner's hospital in Salt Lake takes children from UT, NV, NM, ID, CO, and three towns
in Mexico. The hospital was built in 1995, but you would never know it. It looks like it was
built this year. There are only 40 beds, and they have 5 rooms that are fixed up like a hotel
room for the family that needs to stay close to their child. The rooms also have a bed next
to the child's bed for a parent. Its a very pretty, pleasant place.
Things were a bit slow Tuesday, not many kids were there that day, but Glenda and Nancy were
able to give a couple of children a box. The hospital has a lot of out-patents and the children
that were in the hospital for a longer stay were in their rooms and Glenda and Nancy could not
visit them without a background check.
Glenda hopes to be able to take more boxes to the Shriner's again in March of 2009. That will
give her and the rest of the chapter members time to paint more boxes. She has already received
2 box's from a lady in Florida and 15 box's from a lady in Prescott Arizona!!! Thanks Glenda
for being a member of our chapter and for being the Utah Coordinator of the Memory Box Program.
Thank you Terry for teaching in September. The Ladies seemed to enjoy it and everyone left
with a completed pair of clogs.Those members who will be teaching the rest of this year,
please contact Sue about a month before your class so that she can display your project
and put an announcement about it in their senior newsletter.
Contact Nancy or Sue at the Senior Centerat 773-0860 for more information about time
and dates of classes, costs, supplies, and to sign up for classes.

Nancy called the business meeting to order at 9:17 am and welcomed our seminar teacher Nancy
Baur.
Our Chapter participated in the Brigham City Peach Days with a window display of art by a
number of our members. Once again our window was given an award for the "Most Artistic
Display". The Award is on the back table, along with the candy prize. Everyone is
encourged to enjoy a piece.
Glenda and Nancy took 49 Treasure boxes to the Shriner's last week. (20 of those were done by
Glenda herself!!!!) We will have some photos in the newsletter. Lydia took 8 Memory boxes to
the hospital and said they could use more.
Nancy encouraged everyone to sign up for Nola Snowman plate next month as well as the Christmas
Party. It may seem a bit early, but it creeps up fast.
September is also the beginning of our annual membership drive and time to pay your dues. After
December 5th there is a $5 penalty.
Finally, the SLC Chapter asked Nancy to announce that Feb 20th-21st 2009, they will have
Sharon McNama Black there for a seminar doing a milk can or a tray with a rooster. We will
try to get a photo for the newsletter of we can.
The seminar was then turned over to Nancy Baur. Below are a couple of photos of the seminar.
