Hi Everyone. Welcome back to the new year. I think 2019 is going to be a great year for us.

To start with, we acquired a new place to show our art: the lovely Armenian Home in the Vineyards. We now have a place for our artists to have a one or two man-show each month, and also a place to hold our Fall Show. (We had a great turnout there and two artists sold art even before we finished hanging the show!)

We have received an anonymous donation of $1,000. Thank you for thinking of us Anonymous.

We will be starting our meeting this month with a great demo by Artist and popular  Writer Vicki Thomas.

Congratulations to our Pick of the Year Artist, Mary Fotheringham. Speaking of Pick of the Month, don't forget to bring yours to the meeting!

Jackie would like your input as to who you would like to see demonstrate at our meetings. Please speak to her about this.

·      At the meeting, we will be looking for: members to sign up to be our monthly featured artist

·      One/two-Man shows at the Armenian home

·      Members to work the Old West Show.
