From our  
​Ocala Decorative Artists President
​
​Barbara Barsel  ...........

Hi folks,
    Well summer has come and gone (although you wouldn't know it by our temperatures here). We had a wonderful time celebrating our 20th anniversary at the Ocala Equestrian Center and enjoyed reminiscing about the years gone by and the many friends we made as we enjoyed
our hobby of painting.  We extend a big thank you to Donna for her generous contribution to our club and a great luncheon was enjoyed by us all. 
    As we enter September we are looking ahead to planning for the fall and the holiday season. We have some great workshops coming up.  Please mark your calendar for our November mtg. date which is 1 wk. earlier on Nov. 20th and our Dec. Christmas Party will be held on Sat., Dec. 18th.

Maggie and I have volunteered (yeah, right) to plan the Club Christmas Party.  Since no one wanted to cook (no surprise there) we are having it catered by the Olive Garden.  Lots of games, gift exchanges, raffles etc. are planned.  It will be held in our regular meeting room where we have lots of room to spread out and apply social distancing when necessary.
    We were disappointed naturally that Janelle cancelled her seminar due to concerns about the Covid virus.  We look forward to rescheduling in the future.  
    Don't forget to sign up for each workshop so we can set up for the meeting.  A special thanks to Peggy who makes it possible for us to have coffee and snacks before our meetings begin.
If you have any suggestions for future workshops, something you would like to teach, or an idea for a project you think might be enjoyed please let Maggie or me know.
   Be well and stay safe.  Kindest regards,
               Barbara
