Our next meeting is July 19th. This will be out open house/membership drive. We will offer the newsletter picture for people to paint. There is no cost to paint it. We will have various teachers available to teach the painting. Please try to get anybody you know who might want to paint the frog. The meeting is also out hot dog picnic meeting. If you can bring a picnic side that goes with cooked hot dog. There is no charge to the lunch for anybody in attendance. In addition, July is the meeting where members try to sell painting books, patterns, surfaces, etc. from their cars in good weather or tables inside.
The selected Retreat projects will be review. Hopefully the books too.
If you have items, you think would be good to paint on or with, but not sure you can, want, or did paint it, bring it to the meeting. You can try to sell it or give it away. If you want, anything could be donated if you want to Carrie Pizer for Ways and Means or the Retreat.
Some more of the painted shelter tote bags and boxes need painted for women and children at the local shelter. Jeanne Delbusso has more tote bags, shelter boxes, and backpacks for the women's shelter and some to take home and paint. In addition, there are more walker/tote gags for veterans. If you have some of these at home, please bring them back, painted is preferred.
Rosemary is still doing the Animal Friends project. Rosemary is still asking everyone to save glass jars. Rosemary would appreciate that all labels and glue be removed, but it's okay if the label is still on. If you give us jars and you're not sure if it is usable, still bring it. If Rosemary decides it cannot be used, we will recycle it. Be sure to keep the lids on the jars to help keep the treats fresh. In addition, Rosemary and Animal Friends will accept any monetary donations, small blankets, animal food, and anything else. A big thank you to all who have and will support the dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.
The Chapter Banner with that scene of Pittsburgh on it is still hiding somewhere. If you have it, please bring it to the meeting. If you know where it might be, let any Board member know. Hopefully, doesn't have it for some reason considering.
