Welcome!

NOTES FROM THE PREZ:    Summer is here!  Time to find a nice air-conditioned spot with good lighting and get out some of those projects you've been meaning to finish.  You might also want to go through your pattern collection, books, paints and magazines.  I know we hate to part with these things, but I always look at it as making room for some "new stuff".         Our Annual Basket Luncheon was a huge success and I want to thank our members and the luncheon committee for working so hard and contributing all the hand painted items.  Our club received many compliments on the food, the decorations, and the art work. Our guests had a lot of fun and many asked to be invited back next year.  We haven't picked a date yet for next year but you might want to start thinking of a theme.        We have some wonderful workshops and seminars coming up.  Please check out the information and the pictures on the website. We have had several new members join us and I am looking forward to forming new friendships and sharing our love of painting.         If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 347-1104 or e-mail me at Bbarsel130@aol.com         Kindest regards,  Barbara Barsel, President

The ODA 2012 Basket Luncheon was a huge success!
