Hello Chapter Members,

This is my last article as your president.

It has been two amazing

years serving you all.

I’ve learned a lot and

have had some amazing

members to work with.

Thank you for all of

your support and

willingness to serve

each other.

At our last chapter

meeting, we only had 14

members show up.

Those members went

home with more than

one second chance

drawing prize. But we

did have a great time,

good food and prizes.

Plus Cathy Frazier

taught a very cute tree

skirt design by Shara Reiner. Doesn’t get

much better then that, except we missed all

those who were not able to come.

Please turn in any receipts you may

have for this year to Barbara ASAP.

Remember if you don’t turn them in, you

will not be paid for the expense next year.

All receipts need to have the same year of

the year we are in for tax reasons.

I will be having a transition meeting at

my house January 4 at 11:00 a.m. for

members who held a position this year in

the chapter and for whose who will be

taking on a position in 2019. Lunch will be

served.

There will be instructions for the

members on their new positions, and a

board meeting to follow, to get our new

board started on the right foot. Before the

meeting, Barbara Paetzel, Kaye Singer,

Sheila Hughes and myself will go to the

bank to transfer the accounts over to the

new board members. There is lots to be

done this day, but we will have an enjoyable

time.

Hope all those

members who held a

position this year will

be able to come.

Please RSVP me to let

me know if you can

come or not. If anyone

isn’t able to come, it

will be your

responsibility to get

with the new chair

person, to pass

instructions, your

books, or whatever

you may have for the

position.

Hope

everyone had a

wonderful

Thanksgiving! And hope to see you all at the

Christmas party.

Keep smiling, paint often and always be

happy.

Love your friend,

Gwen Palmer

Hospitality

Hope all of you had a wonderful

Thanksgiving holiday. We have

so much to be thankful for we

should celebrate Thanksgiving

everyday. Our year is coming to

a close. Many thanks are due to

the ladies who have so

generously helped with

Hospitality. Please know that

your every effort Has meant so

much to the Chapter. It makes a

warm and inviting atmosphere

and welcomes everyone who

joins us. See you at the Holiday

party.

Linda Sharp submitted this

project to a Japanese

magazine and it was

accepted.

December 2018 Newsletter

Pro g r am s Hello Ladies,

Well, we had our last class of this year. 2018 was a

great year! Thank you, ladies, for making it a success.

We have a great year for 2019 planned for you. (See

SSTDP’s 2019 project calendar on page 4 of this

newsletter.) Judy Gibson will be your new Programs

Chair, and I will be her Co - Chair. Please take it easy on

Judy. She’s a lot more timid than I am, but BEWARE! I

will still be there to crack the whip!!! Lol!!!

If you signed up for the November program and

weren’t able to attend, I will have the rest of the

instructions available to you at the Christmas party.

You will also be able to sign up for next year’s

programs, starting with January’s class that Sheila

Hughes is teaching. It is a Floral dish top design by GiGi

Smith Burns. The surface can be ordered from Shiela

Hughes and the cost of this paint- in is $10.00, plus the

cost of your surface.

I am looking forward

to seeing everyone at

the Christmas party.

Happy holidays!!!

Thank you,

Cathy Frazier

W ay s & M e a n s

Hi Ladies,

Thank you so much for all of your support and

participation in the raffle drawings this past year! We

earned $56.00 at November’s meeting. We also had lots

of winners for the second chance drawings. If you don’t

win a prize at the regular meetings, you probably will win

more than one at the second chance drawing at the end of

the year!

It has been a pleasure serving as your Ways & Means

Chairperson over the last

two years. I know our new Chairperson will have lots of

good ideas for fundraising and we will all support her as

you have so generously supported me.

Thanks again & look forward to seeing you at the

Christmas party.

Mary Davis

Pat Gettemeyer has

been feeling much better

and sounded great after

returning from her vacation

cruise. On December 3, her

kidney stone will be getting

laser treatment, so she is

looking forward to having that over with.

We wish Anita Miller a speedy recovery from her

broken leg sustained on Halloween night while going up

the steps in her home. She began physical therapy on

November 19.

Christmas is just around the corner and I am looking

forward to holiday fun at our annual party on the 10th!
