Brown Bag Raffle
Paint-In 2016 will be here before you know it, and it is never too early to start painting for this
year's Brown Bag Raffle. As in the past, we are asking that our Members paint something
special to be included in our Raffle. It is so wonderful to have pieces in your collection that
were painted by your friends. I know that we treasure the pieces we’ve been lucky enough to
win that were painted by one of you!
This year we are doing something a little different regarding the collection of items. If you
have anything that you would like to donate for the Raffle, please bring them to Paint-In. Just
like last year, we will have a room set-up for the Raffle items and you can bring them to the
“Raffle Room”. If you have a surface you would like to donate, please include the pattern if at
all possible.
We thank you all for your generosity and look forward to seeing everyone in March at Unicoi
State Park.
Lynda Gaddy and Nancy Free

appreciated by the staff and parents more
than anyone realizes. You can pick up
boxes at any Meeting, take them home,
paint them and return them at the next
Meeting. Please be sure to sign them as
this personalizes them for the parents who
receive them. Please consider giving just
a few hours to paint a couple of boxes for
this program.
