Presidential Chapter Chatter...
Hello everyone. Thank you to all who attended the June meeting. A big thank you to Cindy Harrison for
teaching the afternoon class. Everyone did a great job and was pleased with their project.
The membership voted to go back to the Knights of Columbus in Westborough. We need to have a permanent
home. It will make things easier to plan upcoming meetings, etc.. Marie has done a great job trying to find another place, but we found the Knights to be a good central meeting place for all of us.
Mary St. Pierre is in charge of the country store for NET. Please consider helping her painting things for the
store. We will be having some paint-ins to help do this. We need volunteers to help man our jobs at NET also.
If everyone gives a little bit of time it makes it easier for everyone. The volunteers want to take classes and
have fun too. So if you could take an hour or two to give us a hand that would be great.
I will be taking over the Show, Share and Tell table at the meetings for Grace, until she can come back. Please
bring in a painting or two to share with the chapter. I think that members like to see what others are doing to
help inspire them to maybe try something new or just finish something they have started.
Our next meeting will be September 16 at the Knights of Columbus hall in Westborough. The sign-up sheet is
in this newsletter. Hope to see you then. Hope you all have a great summer.
Directions to the Knights hall are on the last page.

CALLING ALL TEACHERS TO SUBMIT FOR THE
2013WORKSHOP SERIES
At the September 2012 General Meeting on September 16, 2012, the membership will be voting for the 3
workshops to be held in 2013. I’m encouraging all teachers and folks who think that they might like to teach
to submit a project for the memberships’ votes.
The teacher will receive $125 teaching fee and be paid retail prices for pattern packets and surfaces directly by
the students. In addition, teachers may sell other patterns, books, CD’s, supplies, etc. at the workshop.
Designs need not be original. However, if not original, the designer must have given you permission to use
the pattern and teach the class. Plan on 5 to 6 hour projects.
It would be great to see lots of different media – oil, acrylic, colored pencil and watercolor – to get the members excited about voting.
If you want to submit a project, but can’t attend that meeting, let me know and I’ll make an arrangement to
have your piece displayed there. Any questions, e-mail to [email protected] or call 508-883-0886.
See you in September. Jean McKay

NECC/NET Report
 The contract for 2012 will have the same pricing as 2011 with the exception of the rooms. Room pricing
listing in the catalogue is wrong. The correct listing is: $105 single or double, $120 Triple, $135 Quad and
$18 per night for a roll away cot.
 Breakfast will be continental like last year with a grab and go in the outer area for people in a hurry.
 The Banquet Voucher has been eliminated. People will report to the banquet table to reserve a space if they
have prepaid, or to purchase a ticket. People wanting to sit together they must bring signatures from each
person to the banquet table to reserve their seating. Ten people can sit at a table. It will be buffet again this
year. The buffet will be served in the hall to avoid any crowding and confusion. The pre-cocktail party will
be in the courtyard. Last year’s banquet was sold out by Thursday.
 Chapters do not have to participate in the Country store. This is a way for the participating chapters to
make some money for their own chapter.
 September 1 is the deadline for ads in the brochure.
 Chapter Banners need to be displayed at the banquet; they will be signed in with at the monitor station.
 Placing the catalogue on the website after a particular date, as does HOOT, was discussed. Artists and
teachers would have to give their permission to post their work. A watermark would have to be posted on
the artwork. This is a possibility and may go in next year’s teacher’s contract.
 The hotel is stating we overpaid by $5310.69. This will be put towards this year.
 There will be a table for Chapters to place their fliers, teacher and seminar information.
 In the catalogue Margit Hartl’s mirror was printed upside down and Judy Diephouse’s dancing witches was
printed wrong.
 A one day registration allows that registered attendee entrance to the exhibit hall for the entire convention.
 The art show will be at the exhibit hall in an area where people will not have to pay to view.
 The Susan Scheewe Brown classes have been canceled.
Speaking of NET...
Are you planning on attending NET? Please remember to include some volunteer time in your plan. Our
chapter is responsible for the raffle and for registration. Raffle tickets are sold at the convention on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Julia cannot be at
that table all that time; she would like to take some
classes, too. How about signing up to cover the raffle
table for a couple of hours? Could be fun, definitely
will be rewarding knowing that you’ve helped where
help is needed.
Cheryl and Cindy are working on registration and
will also be responsible for class sales. Now that’s a
big job as well as a large commitment of time. Help
them out by giving them a few hours. Tuesday evening and Wednesday and Thursday mornings are typically the busiest and is when they would need the
most help. But don’t feel limited—they can use help
throughout the entire convention.
Yankee Tole Crier
Are you not registering but just going to shop? You
can still volunteer! You’ve heard the saying “Shop
till you drop”, right? Well, don’t “Drop” - take a
break as a volunteer (it might be easier than shopping) - then go back and shop some more. Two
rounds of shopping in one trip to Marlboro!
Remember, everyone working at NET is a volunteer. If we don’t volunteer how will the convention

YHT needs your feedback on a change to the NECC bylaws. Please read the following carefully and let Barbara
Rolla know if you vote “Yea” or “Nay” to this change:
At the NECC August meeting, all cha ters are to vote on the
following as an addition to the NECC bylaws:
“Disbursement of Dividends from the NET Convention to Participating and Eligible Chapters of
NECC.
Once the previous year’s convention (NET) fiscal report has been completed and deemed to be accurate
by the NECC Accountant, prior to disbursing any remaining monies to the NET Participating and Eligible Chapters, contingency fund and NECC, the cost of the following year’s Convention Contract shall
be taken out of the remaining monies first. This will ensure that the following NET convention will be
able to afford all contracts early enough to develop alternate plans if or when there are not enough to
cover the basic cost of the contracts. This includes the deposits and the contracts of both the Hotel and
Exhibit Hall. For example, in November 2012, the distribution of the 2011 NET convention will occur.
Prior to disbursing those dividends, the NET 2013 contracts cost with the Royal Plaza Hotel and Trade
Center shall be completely subtracted from the bottom line.”
Please respond to Barbara as soon as you can so that our NECC/NET representative will
be able to bring our vote to the August meeting.
Send an email message to [email protected] or phone her at 413-967-5444

I brought in some VHS instructional tapes and
books. This time the books were more current
so they were sold for 25 or 50 cents each.
Thank you to everyone who bought books and videos. I
have lots more and will continue to bring books and patters in.

Nellie Robinson, a graduate of Newton North High
School was selected as the Dolly Lancaster Award

work. She and her mom, Stacy Alden, attended our
June meeting and brought along some of her pieces
for us to enjoy.
Additional nominations (with the consent of the person nominated) will be called for at the September
General Meeting prior to voting. If you are interested in serving, please contact a committee member.
Submitted by the Nominating Committee: Lori
Gianfrancesco, LuAnn Klick and Lola Piciullo.
Her work has been displayed at the Newton Free Library and she has won many awards for both her art
and her academic excellence.
In addition to painting and drawing she also is a talented musician and creative writer. Nellie plays the
viola and has participated in orchestras at the New
England Conservatory prep school. As a junior she
participated in the Fourth Annual Playwrights’ Festival and wrote a play that was selected to be performed as part of a Theater Ink production.
is closing at the September meeting.
Everything must go! All the prices are greatly reduced!! Bring some extra money – there will be
great bargains!
For the fall, she is enrolled the dual degree program
at Brown University and RISD. This is a five-year
program through which she will receive a degree
from each college, one in painting and the other in art
history.
The September meeting will be held at the
John Boyle O’Reilly Knights of Columbus
Council No.85 at 17 Willow Street,
Westborough, Ma

As a committee, we were very impressed with Nellie’s talents and achievements. Meeting her and her

Nellie success in college and in her life as an artist.

A
ngel Box Program
Thank you to Jane Stone-Tatro for your
continued work with South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth, MA. They have a Pregnancy
Loss Program, as well as a Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit with families that could benefit from our donations. After further discussion, and review by their
Loss Committee, there is interest from the hospital in
accepting our donations. They have indicated that
they prefer the larger boxes, especially square or rectangular boxes due to the number of items that they
give to parents.
During our meeting in June, the members expressed
interest in continuing to pursue a relationship with
South Shore Hospital. Since many of the boxes previously purchased for the program are nesting boxes
with three sizes, other uses of the smaller boxes were
discussed including NET Country Store. Future purchases will be limited to the larger shapes, and in addition, research will be done to explore options for
purchasing only the larger sizes. South Shore's committee currently purchases fabric boxes which may be
something we could paint as well.
Jane plans to meet with the hospital again in the near
future to share the boxes we have. At the current
time, YHT has received 77 donated boxes! I continue
to be amazed by the wonderful talents and generosity
of our members. Thank you for continuing to support
this valuable program. Don’t forget, there are two
meetings remaining to bring in your finished boxes
and qualify for the November raffle.
P l eas e fe el fr ee t o cont act m e at

It’s summer and some of us will be planning vacations to spend time with families and friends.
If you’re traveling, don’t forget to collect the travel
size toiletries to donate to the Comfort Bag Program
at the Children’s Medical Center of UMass Memorial. These are the perfect size to donate to parents
who are staying in the Pediatric ICU during their
child’s hospitalization.
Are you picking up a journal to document your travels? Pick up two and donate one to the program. It
will help parents keep track of their questions, instructions and even their prayers for their child's
speedy recovery.
Once again I’d like to thank the members of YHT
for their continued generosity and support of the
Comfort Bag Program.
Don’t know about the program? Contact me at
[email protected] and I’ll be happy to tell you
all about it!

Please remember to always bring something
to cover the table whenever we are painting.
Workshops, seminars, afternoon programs,
whatever the occasion. You can use an old
towel or a piece of plastic. A portion of an old
plastic table cloth will work well; anything to
keep the tables clean.
My Painting Space
Towel protects surface — pocket holds extras.
YHT has “My Painting Space” mats available for
purchase—see Mary St Pierre for details.
When it’s time to go home, wrap your project in the towel.
