KPAL May/June Newsletter 2015 - Kings Point Art League

President’s Message
Hello Everyone,
Kings Point Art League
MAY—JUNE 2015
I was in Costa Rico a few weeks ago and took a bunch of pictures
in the rainforest and at the volcanoes. I found the temperature there
to be delightful. The birds are beautiful and I think they know it;
by the way they strut around. The songs are so different in the rain
forest and the monkeys are really fun to watch. I have some excellent subjects to paint now. Just need to find the time.
It seems like things are starting to slow down now. When I returned there was far less traffic and parking spaces are more readily
available. It is amazing how quickly the year flies by. Some of
our artist friends have headed north and others are making plans for
trips. We all need breaks and having a change of scenery makes us
appreciate all we have here.
Our community is changing, with the addition of the 2020 Centre
we now have a state of the art facility to exercise and more meeting
rooms when needed. We need to continue to utilize our Art Room
as much as possible. We currently share the room with the card
players at night and that works well. I hope the survey will give us
more ideas and suggestions for the programs for the fall. Please
take the time to complete the survey. The Box is in the Art Room.
Enjoy this hot spring weather, the Magnolias and Gardenias are
blossoming and the fragrances are wonderful. See you in the Art
Room.

The first Saturday of each month, any KPAL

our KPAL Art Room for the current month.
Bring your art to the Art Room by 9am,
Dixie is usually there around 8:30am, so that
she and her crew have time to get everything
hung. You will then be required to pick up
your art the first Saturday of the following
month.
Congratulations

Heartfelt Thanks to our Outgoing Officers!
Thank you Mary Ann, for being a wonderful President this past
year. Thanks to your leadership, KPAL will enjoy the fruits of
your labors for many years to come! Thanks also to Dixie, vice-president,
who was instrumental in installing our great new panels to hang our art!
Frances, thanks for filling in as Secretary for Glennys, whose presence will
be sorely missed, and then continuing on the following year during her illness. And, last but not least, thank you Diane for stepping up as Treasurer once again when Carol moved out of Kings Point. All of your hard work,
dedication, and timeless hours spent on your duties are very much appreciated!
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!
