  Hello Ladies,                           
    We have a great group of painters. The ideas and projects just keep getting better. We still have a lot of nice projects for the rest of the year.
Donna has come up with Seminars for next year that I know you will want to attend. So save your pennies for the classes.
All the details have not been finalized yet but I know you will want to attend these. It will be a wonderful surprise. More to come.
Next month will be another great class with Pat.   

I hope everyone reads the minutes this month and comes up with ideas on how to attract new members.
 I like the idea of of a Make it Take it to draw new people in and  our Artists to paint Memory boxes for Shands in November.
I know this is a bad time to have this Project because of Thanksgiving but PLEASE try and make it. 
Barbara mentioned having an Art Sale on the Church Grounds. This is a little late for this year but the idea was very appealing to members.
We would need someone to type up the articles for the free magazines or flyers. Please members help us out. 

I know we should enjoy the heat after all the thunderstorms and lighting the past week, but boy it's hot out there. 
​
I hope everyone stayed inside and painted wonderful pieces to bring for show and tell and Memory Boxes, since Shands is in dyer  need lately of the boxes. They want all we can give them. Remember this is our Philanthropic selection.  

Enjoy, be happy and smile💕

Thank you
Sharon
