SoulCollage - rsvp
Good Old Neon Signs - rsvp
SoulCollage is a creative, intuitive process that allows you
to bypass your analytical, logical mind, and tap into your
subconscious self and inner wisdom. Using images found
in magazines or personal photo collections, you will
create small card-collages that require no special skills to
create. The cards can be consulted when you are troubled
or need guidance or are planning a life change. You will
learn a process for reading your personal deck of cards
that represents your inner counselors who can pass along
insight, information and guidance. All supplies and many
images will be provided. Feel free to bring along a journal
or notebook, as well as any images or photographs that
hold special meaning for you. Shari Pergricht is a Trained
SoulCollage Facilitator and a retired Harper College
faculty member with over 30 years of experience working
with individuals and groups as a counselor and teacher.
Nick Freeman presents a lively and colorful talk and
slide show featuring his neon sign photography. Taken
throughout the Chicagoland area, his work showcases
familiar icons and quirky remnants from a time when
brightly lit signs filled the urban landscape. He delves
into the history, production, and impact of these fastdisappearing symbols of big-city glamour and commerce,
and shares his affection for the gritty, offbeat, and
unusual neon still found throughout the region.

Watercolor Supply List
-A set of watercolors, student grade is fine. Even a
student watercolor tray set from Target will do.
-Round size 8 and size 2 watercolor brushes. Either
natural or synthetic hairs are good.
-A watercolor pad, the best is the heaviest ‘lb’ weight
(thickness).
-A BLOCKED pad is sealed on the sides all around the
pad, these are superior as they control the wrinkling of
the paper without stretching the paper which would take
up our entire class time. A blocked pad is not essential
but heavy weight watercolor paper is required for good
results.
-And, a plain pencil and eraser.
Learn watercolor techniques with nature as our subject
matter. Easy step by step instructions. All skill levels
are welcome. There is no fee for this class other than

Dick was 21 years old and Terry was 19 years old when they wed back in 1949. She met Dick
through her brother. Terry’s brother actually asked Dick if he would take his sister, Terry
to her high school prom. Dick said yes and that started a relationship that resulted in a 66
year marriage until Dick passed away suddenly in June of 2015.
Terry went to Immaculata High School in Chicago and attended Mundelein College for
one year and Loyola University until she wed Dick. Terry actually worked in Dick’s plastic’s
company that specialized in making the plastic coating that goes over credit cards. Terry

dinner with you some evening.
