Special thanks to Debbie Reeder for covering the April meeting for me while I was on vacation. I
had a great time and I knew you all were in good hands. I did feel a bit bad, as she was also
teaching that day. Thanks for doing double duty, Debbie!!
Thanks also to Michelle Pollhein for teaching our May project. I’m heading off to the SDP conference. When you see me at the June meeting, I’ll let you know what’s new in the Society. I’ll share
the highlights at the meeting and put more in the Newsletter.
Also, stay tuned for a new look to our website, coming soon. I promise it will look more snazzy!
I hope to see many of you painting at the Janice MilJune Meeting
ler seminar. She is a wonderful painter and a joyful
person. You will all have a great time.

Chapter Projects
Thanks go to Michelle Pollhein for teaching A Day at the Beach at our May chapter mee ng. It was an excel‐
lent class and we all had lots of fun. Candy is teaching Ahoy, a very cute Jamie Mills‐Price project at the June mee ng and that is sure to be another great class. Michelle is up again on September 19 for Raggedy Snowman. She painted her sample on a repurposed kitchen cabinet door from the Habitat for Humanity Restore on Ft. Smallwood Road in Pasadena. Check out their website at www.chesapeakerestore.org for loca ons. The sign up form is in this newsle er. Please be aware that the prep instruc ons will need to be emailed or mailed to you prior to the September mee ng. Debbie Reeder will be teaching the Winter Snowman yard sign at the October mee ng. Perhaps you took my Spring yard sign class at Sail Away 2014 and have an extra panel or I have a few addi onal yard signs for sale. They are quite expensive to ship and I am going to try to them up at HOOT in August. There is an order form in this newsle er if you want one so I know in advance how many I need to pick up. Send no money now because I don’t know the exact cost. I expect they will be $22‐$24. Remaining projects for the year are: October 17 – Winter Yard Sign November TBA – Fall Tangled Plaque December 5 – Mar e Please remember that most chapter projects require you to pick up surfaces and prep instruc ons at the mee ng BEFORE the class date. Please respect the teacher’s deadlines. Kent Island and Summer Paint‐ins

Linda Walls shared that she has more of Kathy Shownewise’s surfaces and is currently going through them. She indicated that many are very nice surfaces. Some ideas were discussed about what could be done with the surfaces; bring some to the birthday luncheon, give surfaces to people to paint and bring to Sail away or the county fair and raffle them off then possibly donate the money to St. Agnes Cancer Research Center. Some 13 Erin suggested we set up a private Yahoo group where mem‐
bers can share ideas, get ideas, discuss pain ng topics and issues, get advice, etc. She would be the moderator. Michelle moved that we set up the Yahoo group with se ngs that allow all to see it, but only members to access and share in it. Kathy seconded the mo on. The mo on passed. Jennifer recalled the young woman who came to a mee ng and wanted to stay to paint, but couldn’t because she hadn’t registered prior to the mee ng, and felt that it may be a good idea for the chapter to fund one addi onal person each month so that if someone dropped in like this or if a member found a friend to bring to the mee ng, they could stay to paint. If there were no drop‐ins or guests, then the extra surface could be purchased by a member to paint. Concern was expressed about having to prep the addi onal surface and the possibility that the person not be at the same level as the project re‐
quires. Robin reminded everyone that October is Decora ve Pain ng Month and we should all plan to bring a friend! The member bring the friend would need to take them under their wing so that the me is not monopolized by beginner painters. At any other me, should a member have a friend to bring, it was suggested that the member call the teacher to see if it’s OK to bring another person. Janet read an email from a woman who is looking for someone to paint pictures of animals on leather. Some names were suggested, but no one at the mee ng could do it. Kathy Anthony shared a pain ng she inherited that was paint‐
ed by her great grandfather, Henry Hanzel. She will be having it restored and wanted us to see the “before” condi on first. Janet will be going to the SDP conference in a couple of weeks. Kathy Anthony moved that up to $200 be set aside for pur‐
chasing books at the conven on and at Hoot. Alice Dudley se‐
conded the mo on. The mo on passed. Alice Dudley shared a wastebasket she panted at the Southern Maryland Sandy Scales seminar. will be available at the November auc on. There is a paint‐in (Art from the Heart) being held May 29 at Salem Lutheran Church in Catonsville. New Business: The Board of Directors voted last Monday to move the website from its current host to another host that will only cost us $4.00/month. Erin’s husband has volunteered to take over the website and make it more user friendly. He will also be joining the chapter! The new address will be CBDpainters.net. Adjourn: Kathy Anthony moved and Michelle seconded that we adjourn the mee ng. We need a chair for the nomina ng commi ee as soon as pos‐
sible to get a slate of officers ready for publishing in June for the September vote. The mee ng was adjourned at 11:15 a.m. Respec ully submi ed, Debbie reported that the goose eggs that Shirley Eppard’s daughter brought to Sail Away ne ed $150 which was donated to charity (Diaconia). Jennifer Bearce Recording Secretary Kathy Mollica shared that she went to Texas for the Rosemary West seminar organized by Della We erman. She said she had a wonderful me and expressed a desire for us to consider having Rosemary come here to do a seminar some me. It was reported that we had checked into doing that, but she is very expensive. Alice then suggested that Kathy A. teach a class using JoSonja paints so we can get a taste of how they behave without having to put out a large sum in new paints. Jennifer suggested that the website and/or the Yahoo group list the tles and if possible, the cover pictures of the books in our library and allow for a simple way to reserve them so they can be brought to the chapter mee ngs for pick up. This will be looked into by Erin and her husband. Currently if you want a book you need to call Alice Dudley. Some confusion as to whether an updated membership infor‐
ma on list had been distributed this year, so Janet stated that she would ask Carol to be sure to do that. 14 15 Jenny Simmons 30020 Hun Road Mechanicsville, MD 20659 NEXT EVENT: “Ahoy!” - Glen Burnie Regional Library, June 13
