December 2012/January 2013
President’s
Notes
Thanks to all the 2012 board members for all the
hard work they put in this year. We have a new year
upon us and the 2013 board hopes to have a
successful year but we cannot do it without all of
your help.
We have several committees that need chairs: art
show, luncheon for example. Please think about
chairing one of our committees. If you have any
new ideas please let a board member know. The
board wants to do some new and exciting activities.
The January meeting is featuring David Vernon as
our instructor, painting strawberries and daisies using
Traditions paints and Fusion Blending brushes. We
appreciate David taking his time to show us the
Fusion Blending brushes.
At every general meeting we are collecting canned
goods for a homeless shelter; in Virginia; we are
taking the canned goods to the Carpenter’s Shelter in
Alexandria. If you know of a shelter in Maryland
and are willing to deliver the canned goods to the
shelter please let me know. If we cannot find a
shelter in Maryland then the canned goods will go to
the Carpenter’s Shelter. The Carpenter’s Shelter is a
family shelter. When I delivered the food and toys
from the October meeting there were 51 adults and
26 children staying at the shelter.
The Beth Wagner seminar has been postponed. We
are working on another date; we will let you know
soon when that will be.
I hope your holidays are wonderful and you are
surrounded by your loved ones.
See you in January.

THANK YOU
I'd like to thank the chapter for the lovely
Maureen McNaughton painting.
It arrived at Sandy's house a few days after the
meeting, and we went to Michaels to purchase a mat
and frame for it. It's gorgeous! And thanks to Sandy,
for loaning me her version until Maureen's arrived.
I really appreciate the work and enthusiasm the
entire chapter put into all our meetings and events
this year. I'm grateful that our strategy worked to
keep our membership numbers even with last year,
and that everyone seemed to enjoy participating. I'm
looking forward to serving as Virginia Rep.

THANK YOU
Thank you to Linda Dudley for teaching the
December Maryland Paint-in! The piece was truly
De-e-e-licous! I'm happy to say that mine is done
and is quite appetizing. I don't know that we're
ready for snow, but I'm sure all her students now
have a hankering for chocolate covered
strawberries. Thank you again, Linda!

FROM THE EDITORS’ DESK
As we reflect on 2012 how can we not celebrate all that the year offered? We painted with exceptional teachers,
joined friends both old and new for an outstanding Luncheon, traveled to Williamsburg for a great Get a Way,
and had a year of learning how to improve our artistic skills.
2013, under the guidance of the new board, already is shaping up to have some neat surprises We start the New
Year by having David Vernon teach us fusion blending.
Kindly let us know if you will be staying to paint at the January meeting.You can E us at jmkirzl@Cox.net.
David needs to have a count, as he will be providing products for the class.
So keep your calendar free for the 3rd Saturday in January, March, May, July, September, October and
November, and join your friends for some great painting and fun.
To one and all the happiest that the holidays have to offer with family and friends. Be safe in your travels.
Warm regards and Merry Christmas
Marie and John
