Hi Everyone!

Thank you to all the volunteers who made the Tag Sale a roaring success!  Special thanks to those who led the effort:  Patti Roz and Pat Card!  Other superlative volunteers were Sue Grilli,
Joan Turner, Ann Rotunno, Doreen Murzycki, and Cathy Smith----and of course all the bakers, and art supply donors.  After taxes, we cleared $832.99, which is about half of what we will need to fix, and or replace the teacher’s mirror----or come up with another solution for our teachers.  The result far exceeded our expectations!  

 

In addition, we were able to donate some excellent art supplies, and a lightly used toaster oven and microwave to Programs for Exceptional People, a 501c3 local organization that serves adults who have developmental disabilities.  They were grateful!  This was definitely a WIN – WIN for all involved!  Thank you!

  3. Happy Hour is the second Thursday from 5 – 6 PM, and it’s every month!  August will be hosted by club member Terry Broere.  Bring your own beverage and a snack to share if you wish.  We hope the Artist of the Month will come!  It’s fun to hang out with other artists, chat, and get to know other members.  Mark your calendar!

  4. The Art Party—See the flyer below.  The August Art Party is Thursday, August 17, 6:30 – 8 PM.  Fabric Painting on aprons will be led by member Pat Card.  Absolutely no walk-ins will be welcomed because we bought just enough aprons!  REMEMBER, IT IS MANDATORY TO REGISTER FOR THIS—DO NOT JUST SHOW UP!!  To register you have to send an email.  To register email Ann.Rotunno@gmail.com.

  6. The Wall Display   Pick-up your Display Wall Art on Wednesday, August 30, and drop off art for the September Display Wall on August 31 before 2 PM.  By the way, the new Back Cabinet Monitors, Linda Dzuba and Sandra Ferry have done an amazing job.  Big thanks go you both!!

  9. Positions to fill.  This is a great opportunity for you to step up and help the club!  There is a need for a Hospitality Chair for 2024.  Donna Stephen will complete this calendar year, but joining her now is a perfect opportunity to work alongside her and learn the ropes.  Also, please be responsive when you’re contacted by a member of the Nominating Committee.  Remember, we will need to elect a president(s), a treasurer, and a member at large for the All About Art Club to continue to function in 2024.  Please consider helping out.  

  10. A Request for Assistance.  A non-art club member, Mary Buzzie, 843 540 4865

needs somebody to finish a tree in a painting she bought.  She thinks it is acrylics or oil.  Please contact her directly, if you would like to find out more.

 

Thanks everyone!  Have a happy and creative August. See you around the Art Room!
