4.  New Member Orientation will be held Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 4 p.m. in the art room.

This is a great opportunity for all new members to tour the art room, learn about everything the club has to offer, and ask questions of the Presidents Kate and Jan.  All new and old members are encouraged to attend.

 

5.  The Art Party will be held on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 6:30 in the Art Room.   The topic is "Jasper Johns" along with a related hands-on activity.  Reservations are on a first come, first serve basis.  Please contact Ann aat ann.rotunno@gmail .com if you’d like to come.  See attached flyer.

 

6.  This month's Happy Hour will be Thursday, Sept. 14th, from 5-6 pm in the art room.  Meet fellow art enthusiasts and bring your own beverage, and if you like, a snack to share.

 

7.  A new artistic challenge for y’all!  As part of our initiative to publicize our great club, we would like to create buttons with the slogan, “Young @ Art”.  We’re asking our club members to come up with a design for these buttons.  It can be funky, colorful and eye-catching.  The buttons will be 3” in diameter.  So get those creative juices flowing, and send your ideas to Connie Silvester at conniesilvester48@gmail.com. by September 30. The board will select the winning design.

 

8.  It's time to renew your membership,  Membership dues are good through December 31, but anyone who renews between September 1 and December 31 will have their membership paid up through December 31, 2024.

 

9. We had a wonderful response when we suggested having a theme each month for the end panel of our display wall.  Maybe we can even designate the entire wall for "over-sized paintings" or maybe even an "anything goes".  Would you like to help plan these changes?  Please let Kate know (katemace68@gmail.com). We’ll assemble a committee so we can meet in September to start end-panel themed display by the end of the year.
