Lynda's Letter                                           May 30, 2009

Manatee Haven Painters –
June is going to be a fun meeting. Jan Bittner is doing a workshop for us that is a beautiful reverse glass project of an amaryllis and butterfly. You need to have your glass “inked” before class. If you need help contact Jan. We will not be having a formal meeting but please bring your raffle money as we will have a raffle during lunch time.

The books are coming in for the book sale in Jan. 2010. Remember you will get raffle tickets for the books you donate and the raffle will be for an Autograph reducer and enlarger plus ˝ price seminar in September with Jill McFarland.

Our participation in the first auction held by Stirrups ‘n Strides Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc. was a big success. They were trying to raise $5000. and the final total was $6000. Needless to say they were pleased and want us to enter next year if they do this project again.

Ocala Decorative Artists and Manatee Haven Decorative Artists total contribution was $1240.

Our 10th anniversary celebration was a big success. Thank you again for all the help.

I do want to remind you that we need to consider positions on our board and committees that are coming available in 2010. I hope when you are called on you will consider giving the Manatee Haven Decorative Artists a commitment. If I can do it you can too!!! We all get together and help each other on all levels so even if you have not held a position before you need to give it a try.

Hope to see you at the June meeting.
