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.

Attending:

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.
