Preparing for the Ros S. Seminar

Posted on by

Girls,

Getting ready for a seminar is like getting ready for a trip.  Gathering supplies

CINDY SAYS THAT THE CHAPTER WILL PROVIDE THE PAINTS – Don’t Worry !!!!!!!

Thank goodness one off my list, but what about the surfaces?  I have to think – where? How much?  What size?  So many questions.  Even though you don’t have to have the books they are great, so if you can pick one (almost any one) it is worth the money because she goes into detail about techniques, and you know how much I love to learn.

The oppertunity to  take from this lady is soooooo rare.  Please check with Cindy Moore if you need to sign up ASAP. The Gran dames of painting are leaving more and more.  Remembering a class of teachers gone by is so valuable.  A thing that fills my heart!!!

Cards of CARE

Ladies,

The Internet is a crazy, technical thing, but when it gets information to you so quickly it can be a blessing.  Your cards were waiting for be when I returned from my Dad’s funeral.  Words can not tell you how much it meant to me.  You always remember those that care when you are low.  Art feeds the soul, but friendship warms it.

Thank you,

Jean Parker

Jean, please share this with our members.

I spoke with Debbi Weston this
afternoon and although she sounded a little weak and tired, she is in good
spirits.  She is at home after a three week stay in the hospital and isn’t
scheduled to go back to work until the first of the year.  This past Monday was
the first day she truly felt that she was going to live and she and her Mother
actually went out shopping today!  She will also start chemo soon as a
maintenance measure and hopes to be at our January meeting and able to attend
retreat.  She is turning over Ways and Means to Fran Mittelstet in 2012 but
plans to still be very active in the work of the MTDA.   Everyone please
continue to keep Debbi in your thoughts and prayers!
