Ogden, Utah November 2008


Dear Painters,

        What an absolutely beautiful fall. The colors in the mountains were really spectacular this year.

        I want to thank Nola Phillips for teaching her "Snowman Plate" last month. It was a fun class - - she is a great teacher.

        This month, November 8th, Terry Pulver is teaching a beautiful box with Cedar Berries on it. You can paint it on a plate if you prefer. This item would make a great gift. There is still time to sign up. Send your class fee to CarolAnn Smith.

        Be sure to come to the November paint-in so you can vote for our new officers. If you can’t attend, there is a ballot included with this newsletter. The ballot must be received by Terry Pulver by November 13th to be counted. Thank you Glenda for being our Nominating Committee person.

        Remember to pay your Chapter and National dues no later than December 1st, in order to save $5.00.

        Reserve the 6th of December, 1:00, for our Christmas Party at the Senior Center. CarolAnn has been working very hard to make sure we have a great time and a nice dinner. We will have some great raffle items and a special raffle for Nancy Baur's painted Quail. Please sign up for the party as soon as possible so that we can get a good count.

        Due to economics, we have changed the Ronnie Bringle Seminar to March 10th & 11th. We will be sharing some of the expenses with the Boise Chapter since she will be teaching there the weekend before she comes to our Chapter. We need a deposit by January 20, 2009. The projects that received the most votes were "Bramble Bunny" and "Apples On The Vine". So we will have two one-day projects. Check next month's newsletter for pictures of both seminar pieces. Mark you calendars NOW! She is a wonderful teacher and has a lot of different techniques to teach us.

        Please keep in mind that we still need Treasure and Memory boxes for the hospitals. Let’s make the job a lot easier for Glenda and Lydia.

        I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

        Until next month. Keep Painting.

        Nancy

Peach Days Display


This year the Chapter participated in the window displays for Brigham City's Peach Days. Once again we received a award for the "Most Artistic Display" as well as a $20 candy prize. Way to go ladies!!! A special thank you to everyone who helped arrange for the window space, setup, and take down the display.

     




Monthly Paint-ins Schedule


During the past year our Chapter has held our monthly paint-ins on the second Saturday of the month. The Provo Chapter also holds their paint-in on the second Saturday. The SLC Chapter will be moving their paint-in to the third Saturday of the month. We have members from both the Provo and SLC Chapters who would like to attend our paint-ins but cannot, especially the officers. The Board has decided to try moving our paint-in to the first Saturday of the month so our members can attend SLC and Provo chapter paint-ins and they can attend ours. This change will take place beginning with the February 7th 2009 paint-in.




Time to Vote


Elections will be held at the November paint-in. The election committee will be contacting the members to give them the opportunity to help lead the chapter in the future. If you haven't been contacted and want to run for an office, please call the nomination committee chairperson, Glenda Mitchell (885-2040). Listed below are the names of members who have already indicated an interest in holding an office in our chapter.

Dues


Yes, it's that time of year again. I'm sure most of you have received notice from SDP about your national membership renewal with you last Decorative Painters magazine. National dues need to be postmarked before December 1st to avoid their $5 postage/handling fee. (Pay SDP dues directly to the Society.) Please pay your local dues ($15) to the treasurer by December 1st to avoid our $5 late penalty. Checks can be made out to Golden Spike Decorative Painters and mailed to the Chapter at 1037 W. 4600 So., Riverdale, Ut 84405.




Senior Center


We need teachers for next year. The seniors are fun to work with and enjoy learning. Call me (Cathy Jensen 475-7711) if you can teach a class. Here are some ideas: scrapbook page, beadwork, jewlery making, soap demo, painting on soap and/or candles, Christmas ornaments. They have also asked about another candy demo. Sandy and Pat have done this a couple of years and it was a big hit. If someone is willing to teach it, January or February would be just fine.

Meeting was called to order at 10:15 am.

Nancy announced that our Spring 2009 seminar must be changed to March 10th and 11th (Tuesday and Wednesday). Due to the expense of having Ronnie Bringle, the Chapter has invited the Boise Chapter to share the seminar expenses by scheduling their seminar and ours back-to-back. Photos of possible Bringle projects were on display and a written vote was taken from the members attending the paint-in.

Nancy reminded everyone that the Chapter will be voting on next year’s officers at next month’s paint-in.

Tirzah said she is still talking with Peter Berrera. concerning the Christmas Market.

The time was turned over to Nola Phillips for the Snowman Sing-a-Glad Song Plate project by Chris Thornton.

Meeting was adjourned at 3:00pm till 8 November 2008, 10:00am.
