Hi Everyone,
Looks like spring might have finally arrived, flowers starting to pop
up, trees budding out, Yeh! I don’t know about you but I was getting mighty sick of this winter.
We had a great meeting on April 13, please read everyone’s articles
for the upcoming meeting June 6th.
Margaret Royston did a Fantastic program at the meeting with
stamping and painting flowers on a tray. Bettie Slayzk has more
great programs scheduled, see her article.
Louise Jackson seminar was held in April, hope you were there.
Louise is a great watercolorist and taking a seminar with her is always fun and inspiring. She will be teaching at SDP Conference in
May. Cheri Rol will be coming September 25, 26, and 27. Cheri is a
profound oil painter who has taught all around the world. The projects and sign up are in the newsletter. This is a great opportunity
to learn a new medium if you haven’t tried oils before; or if you’re
an experienced oil painter, you will always learn something. I have
painting with Cheri for years now and always come away with something new.
SDP Conference is coming up in May in St. Charles, IL. Hope you all
are going. If you cannot take any classes, I hope you come for the
trade show, nice seeing all the new ideas and products. Bettie
Slayzk has lined up a couple of our own people to teach at the June
meeting. Be sure to read her article.
Please see Barb Hoag’s article about what she has in store as our
Philanthropic project this next month. Thank you to everyone who
has been donating. Children at the Carmelite Home can use all the
help we can give.
We now have a Facebook group, “Illinois Prairie Painters”. Just click
on the request to join. We can share our activities, seminars, and
etc. With permission from the teachers, we will post pictures of
seminars.
Hope to see you all at the SDP Conference and at the meeting June
6th.

ILLINOIS PRAIRIE PAINTERS
General Meeting Minutes ~ April 11, 2015
A General Meeting of the IPP Chapter was held April 11, 2015 at the Lyonsville United
Congregational Church of Christ in Indian Head Park, IL.
President Nancy Simpson called the meeting to order at 10:08AM by welcoming everyone
and guest, Carol Clark. Asked if everyone was wearing a name tag and advised if not, to
pay the $.25 penalty.
Vice President, Bettie Slayzk, thanked Margaret Royston for stepping forward to teach the
class today and informed all that Pat Berkhout and Judy McComb will be teaching two separate classes from SDP convention at the June meeting – she thanked all of them. In October, Theresa Krohn will be teaching “Something Witchy.” Next year, Margaret Royston will
teach the apron w/palette design that was previously planned for the April 2015 Meeting.
Treasurer, Jan Kuehne reported the Year to Date amounts:
Checking Account starting balance:$3,048.50
Income
1,898.55
Expenses
4,086.53
Ending Balance as of 4/11/15

Linda Park made the motion to accept the Treasurer Report as reported and Jan Baier seconded the motion, all were in favor of accepting and the motion carried unanimously.
Secretary, Janet Schipma, asked if there were any additions or corrections needed to the
2/07/14 meeting Minutes, being none, Jan Kuehne motioned to accept the Minutes as written and Margaret Royston seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Chapter Display, Sharon Failor, thanked Jan Kuehne and Nancy Simpson for the April Centerpieces which were live tulip plants with bird stakes in each and an origami made by Nancy which symbolized her trip to Korea, called Hanbok.
Education, Jan Baier, reported that we have a very successful seminar signup for Louise
Jackson for the 4/17-19/15 seminar but we do have room for more. She encouraged the
membership to support IPP seminars because the club does pay for the teacher’s transportation, printing, room and meal expenses and we need to get more money in to cover these
expenses. Nancy added that Louise is a fantastic watercolorist who is not travel teaching
any longer and is truly making herself available as a favor to IPP, so please sign-up. Jan advised that signup for the Cheri Rol Seminar on 9/25-27/15 will be at the June meeting but
that members could signup today if they wish. Nancy described the projects, informed all
that pictures of the projects can be found on Cheri Rol’s website.
Hospitality, Lynnda Lamont, reported that we have 35 in attendance today and that she
made the down payment for the Christmas Meeting and spoke to the hotel. President Nancy picked the winning names for the April centerpieces. Winners were: Cathy Plomb;
Theresa Krohn; Pat Berkhout; Linda Lamont; Barb Carlson and Barb Hoag.
~3~
Meeting minutes continued . . . .
Historian, Lois Crist, requested pictures with no response; said otherwise, everything is
good.
Library/Vintage books, Luella Rooney, advised the members that we have lots of books and
are trying to make a decision on what to do with them since members do not seem to purchasing them any longer. Luella is looking for suggestions from the group on what to do
with the books: one thought was to sell the books by the box on eBay and split the proceeds with IPP. Otherwise, we may need to discard the books since we do not have the
storage room. A brief discussion followed and Linda Park mentioned another website,
“DPU de Stash” a website for selling items but not for a huge profit. If someone would be
willing to create an album of the books, it would be a focused way of selling them. Luella
asked if there were any computer savvy volunteers who would be willing to do that – no
responses at the present time. Other websites suggested were: Tole Patterns Dash and
Decorative Painters Stash.
Membership, Jan Baier, reported that we have one returning new member Fran Gilkerson –
total count of membership is 76. Please encourage all of your friends – it is almost time to
rejoin for next year.
Newsletter/Website, Sherry DeFillippo (absent), Bettie Slayzk mentioned that the deadline
for newsletter articles is 4/18th.
Parliamentarian, Kathy Miller, everyone is O.K.
Philanthropic, Barbara Hoag, thanked everyone who bought pajamas or made donations for
the Carmelite home. The raffle donation is a SDP book and the winner is Margie Rios.
Raffle, Jan Anderson, reported that the raffle is setup, thanked Gloria Boggs for selling
tickets as well as the ladies who donated raffle items.
Relief Crew, Nancy Swingle, requested if anyone needs help with the Raffle or Ways-nMeans tables, please see her.
SDP Liaison/Publicity, Janet Schipma, reminded members that the final signup for the SDP
Conference at Pheasant Run in St. Charles, IL is 4/24th; also please don’t forget to complete
your Volunteer form and submit; SDP is encouraging all members to attend the Chapter &
Members Gathering on 5/13th, 6:30-9PM, Cost is $20 as well as the Family Day on 5/16th w/
Learn to Paint Demos.
President Nancy advised that she got a message from Denise from Windy Brushes and she
is doing the Volunteer setup for Classrooms and the Boutique at 10am. IPP is doing one of
the tables that include 10-placemats. She described the contents of the gift bags and mentioned four members are helping to paint the placemats and gift bags and will note on the
back, painted by IPP. She also reminded everyone to volunteer ahead of time or you can go
to the SDP booth for volunteering when you arrive.
Sunshine, Judy McComb (absent) Nancy asked if anyone needs a card from IPP and to
please let Judy know if there is.
~4~
Meeting minutes continued . . . .
Ways and Means, Theresa Krohn, hoped everyone had fun at the Ways-n-Means table this
morning and reported they made $82 at this time. She also mentioned that there is a pattern for a dollar bill origami and roses made from dollar bills that will make great Graduation gifts available for purchase. The Special raffle for June it is an original Lenox piece of
two snowman (snowman painting the snow lady). The piece will come in the original box
along with the Certificate of Authenticity.
Old Business:
Theresa Krohn reported that the Quilt is finished and it was on display along with two
pillows covers. A quilt rack was donated by Judy Selandowski; tickets will be available
at the June Meeting (20-tickets for $20). Theresa volunteered to design and print the
tickets so save the cost of going to a printer and will be sure to have tickets available at
the SDP Conference for purchase. Theresa mentioned that five squares were not returned yet and if those members do finish and return, she will make potholders from
them.
Budget - President Nancy asked if there were any questions or comments regarding the
proposed Budget for 2015 that was distributed in the Newsletter as well as on the tables today. She mentioned again, that the budget is really just a guideline and if there
were no questions or comments that she needs a motion to accept as published. Jan
Baier motioned to accept the proposed Budget as written and Barb Carlson seconded
the motion. There was no further discussion and the motion passed unanimously.
New Business:
Nancy advised that she started a Facebook page for IPP (Note: please spell out “Illinois Prairie Painters“). Currently, Nancy & Ann Johnson are the only ones who have access to
the site. You need to come to Nancy and request to join the group. Nancy also made
everyone aware that she took pictures of the membership today and asked if anyone
objected to having their picture posted on the new Facebook site. There were no objections and all were appreciative to Nancy for taking on the task.
IPP is doing table decorations for the SDP Banquet and Nancy thanked Bettie Slazyk, Barb
Loehman, Janet Schipma, and Jan Kuehne for helping.
Announcements:
President Nancy announced that the IPP Board Meeting will be held at 6:30PM on Monday,
4/13th. We usually meet at the Wolf’s Head Restaurant between 5 and 5:30PM for dinner; the Board Meeting begins at 6:30PM at the Lyonsville Church.
Ann Johnson rented a half table at the SDP Conference for the DecoArt and Turtle Hollow
Artists (Booths 114, 116 & 118); Nancy distributed flyers for the membership to take so
they can look her up at the Convention.
On behalf of Jane Dryden, Linda Park announced that Jane is looking for a roommate to
share the costs of the hotel at SDP Conference. Please email Linda Park if you are interested. Also, please note that Jane is not teaching at Conference this year.

with a $10 packet fee that is scheduled for August 2015.
Linda Park announced the Windy Brushes Seminar with Janice Miller in October 2015 held
at the Red Door Church in Bartlett.
Robin Manestar also announced that when she travels, she looks up local painting clubs
and takes a class. This is a great way to gain exposure to how other clubs are run and
to meet their membership.
~5~
Meeting minutes continued . . . . .
Linda Lamont announced she is looking for donations of painted items for a Breast Cancer
event she attends every year (scheduled for 5/16th) – proceeds go to breast cancer research. If you can donate a painting or something small, it would be greatly appreciated. Linda is attending the SDP Convention, so please bring your painted items to convention to give to Linda.
President Nancy announced that the next General Meeting will be held on June 6th at the
Lyonsville Church with the Board Meeting following on June 8th. (Meet for dinner between 5
and 5:30PM; Board Meeting begins at 6:30PM.)
President Nancy advised the membership that IPP is 40-years old this year and that she has
been a member since its beginning. Please remember that it takes all of us to make this
club a success so, if you have any suggestions for improvement, please talk to a Board
member, take a seminar, volunteer. Membership has dropped drastically -- since I was
President last time, membership dropped from 216 to 76 members. It takes all of you to
help make IPP successful.
