 President's letter for September 2017 
 
Hello Members...
I hope everyone is still painting those Memory Boxes. Don't forget the contest that is going on for the person who paints the most boxes will receive a gift.
We had another good class with Pat. She taught us how to paint on glass and we etched some also. It was a lot of fun. Thank you Pat for teaching us another way to paint on glass. Also the etching was terrific. That's where your creative minds take over. Creating your own design to Etch was fun and it didn't take long to do.
Next month is Cheryl's project. Sign up for this class. It will make a great Christmas gift for someone. Or a last minute gift idea. I do hope the ladies who are on leave from the club return soon. We miss you all. Just a short letter this month,


Hope to see everyone   there next month. Be careful coming home. No large puddles or row boats needed.
Ladies if you need to talk to me please call my cell phone as the storm killed mine.

Sharon
