Happy fall to everyone, my favorite

time of year. I already have my Halloween

decorations out.

I’m looking forward to our big auction

on Oct. 13 and having Sheila teach our

Halloween witch boot. It will be a fun, fun

day.

I hope everyone will wear a fall or

Halloween shirt. I know what I will be

wearing already. It

also is going to be a

potluck. Bring

something to share

with everyone and our

visitors. I hope

everyone invited

friends and families to

join us!

If you have

painted something for

our auction, please get

it to me before Oct. 5.

We are having a board

meeting on the 5th, at

my house at 10 a.m.,

and will be filling out

the auction forms and

pulling it all together.

We will have pizza for

lunch. Bring a few

dollars to pitch in to pay for it, please.

I want to give everyone who has already

painted and turned it into me a big thank

you. We have some really nice projects for

this day. Thank you again.

We also have our business meeting

before the auction and will need to start on

time and be done by 11:00. The voting for

our new board will be taking place also.

The slate is:

President: Sheila Hughes

1st Vice-President: Judy Gibson

2nd Vice-President: Nicole

Garrett

Secretary: Terry Boyd

Treasurer: Kay Singer

If there is anyone else that would like to

step up, or volunteer someone from the

chapter - with there permission - this is the

day it will take place.

Also keep in

mind any position you

would like to take on

next year. The new

president will need

our help big time.

Remember if no one

steps up, then we will

do away with that

position. For example,

if no one volunteers to

take on the holiday

party, there will be no

holiday party. This

was brought up at our

last meeting. I truly

hope it doesn’t happen

this way. The chapter

means so much more

to each of us if we all

pitch in and help and do our part.

I hope to see everyone at our chapter

meeting October 13 at 10:00am. Don’t

forget to get your friends and family

members to come.

Keep painting, smile often and, most of

all, be happy and healthy.

Your friend,

Gwen Palmer

The month of October promises to

be a busy meeting and auction. If

you signed up to bring food

please let me know by October

11. So I will be able to organize

the day more carefully. I will be

teaching the class that day. Gwen

has graciously volunteered to

help with the setting up of the

lunch. We will have a very

interesting and fast action day. I

know everyone is as anxious as I

am for this event. Please come

early for the set up and stay late

for the cleanup. See you all at the

chapter meeting.

Pro g r am s Hello Ladies,

It’s hard to believe that we only have two classes left

for the year.

Last month we had a great class with Gwen teaching

a Jamie Mills Price design. Gwen is a wonderful, patient

teacher, and boy did we have fun! Thank you, Gwen, for

making it fun.

In October:

Sheila Hughes will be

teaching a Sandi Streaker

Witch Boot design.

This is a super easy,

but cute, project that will

be fun to paint. Sheila is

a wonderful teacher and

will make this a fun

experience for you.

If you haven’t signed

up for this paint-in yet,

you might want to do so soon. The price for this is $10.00

and the wood is available

from Sheila.Hughes.

In November:

I am teaching a Shara

Reiner Christmas tree

skirt design. I am painting

mine on Roclon. The

original surface that Shara

painted it on is no longer

available. That’s why I

painted mine on Roclon. If

you choose, you can shrink

your pattern and paint it on a Lazy Susan.

The cost of this workshop is $15.00 and the surface

you will have to buy yourself. I get mine at JoAnns.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Cathy Frazier

Hello Ladies,

This year is flying by super fast!!!!! Last month we

collected over 3/4 of the chapter dues!!!! Thank you all so

much for your prompt payments.

If you are unable to attend the October meeting, you

can always mail me your dues.

I am asking that everyone complete an updated

membership form regardless if there have been any

changes or not with your information. This will help me

when I am double checking our directory.

I would like to welcome Marthalene Roberts to our

chapter. She joined us last month!!

October is here! That means it's time for Mark

Menendez's color pencil seminar. Last month I made a

mistake on the dates in the newsletter. The correct dates

of the seminar are Oct. 19 & 20. If you have signed up and

paid in full, you should have received your color pencil

list. If you have not, please reach out to me ASAP.

The location for the seminar is 5175 Camino Al Norte,

St. #100, North Las Vegas. I will send those who have

signed up directions. Class will be from 9am-4pm.

Carl Larson will be here on April 5 & 6, 2019. The

piece chosen will be displayed at our October meeting. No

sign ups or deposits can be accepted until Jan. 2019. Carl

Larson's seminar will be held at the church. We have

chosen one project for the 2-day seminar.

Maxine Thomas will be here Sept. 20 and 21, 2019 for

her seminar. A piece will be chosen in the beginning of

this upcoming year. The EMS Training Center of Southern

Nevada has been reserved for this seminar. More details

will be available in the upcoming year.

If anyone has any questions in regards to any

seminars, please feel free to reach out to me.

Cathy Frazier’s son was

married on September 22nd,

and Cathy was pretty excited

to be traveling to northern

Utah for the

festivities. Congratulations!

Our sincere condolences

go to Sheila Hughes and

family on the loss of Mike’s sister.

Well, fall has officially begun and I, for one, hope it’s

a long and beautiful season after all the humidity and

heat of the summer months. Take care my friends

Hi Ladies,

Thank you for all of the support you have given for the

raffle each month! It has been a great source of income for

our chapter and fun too!

We wont be having the raffle in October because of

our auction, so get out there and bid, bid, bid!

We do need raffle prizes for November. If you can

bring something, please let me know. It can be food, gift

cards, painting supplies or anything your heart desires

except cash! I wont be at the October meeting because my
