PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

It was wonderful to see so many at the February meeting We had fun and got lots

done Liz and Mona had a great St Patrickrsquos Day project for us to do We got the

budget approved for the year You got to see the pattern for the shirts we will be

doing in March to wear at SDP Conference And there were some very nice painted

projects in the ldquoShow amp Tellrdquo

I always enjoy the show and tell portion of the meeting I hope all of you who went

to the Las Vegas show will bring your projects to share at the March meeting Also

if you saw a particular project or teacher you would like us to have at one of our paint

-ins Please get the information to me or Karen so we can try to get it booked

At both the January and February meetings Mona asked for volunteers to host our

June pot luck This has always been a popular gathering for our group so please

consider hosting this event Contact Mona if you have questions

Wear your St Paddyrsquos green to the meeting Donrsquot forget to bring items for Tender

Life REMEMBER to ldquospring aheadrdquo The day before our meeting is the day to move

all your clocks ahead one hour ndash and you will not be driving to the meeting in the

dark

Do something nice for yourself this month and bring something you painted to show

at the meeting on March 10th

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May God hold you

in the palm of his hand
