NEWSLETTER CHANGES This is the first issue of the PAC Newsletter that will be put on the Club website, www.paletteers.com. If you do not have an email address on the Club address list or if you have contacted me you will receive a hard copy just like last year. If you wish to receive a paper copy, please write a note to: Mary Bass c/o Paletteers Art Club, P.O. Box 350489, Westminster, CO 80035-0489. Since this letter will be on the Web, I will not put most telephone numbers in it unless requested by the person giving me the info. Any Club member can be reached at the above P.O. Box number or the phone numbers are on the members address list you receive every July. Also, I would like to report sales at the various exhibits after the exhibit changes. So, (after this letter) you will only read about sales at Northglenn City Hall and Recreation Center and the Northglenn United Methodist Church in the newsletter printed in January, March May, etc. and the others on the even numbered months. Be sure that the exhibit chair knows when you make a sale so she can report it to me. Other noteworthy sales or honors can be reported directly to me. Hopefully these changes can lower our costs (and headaches.) CONGRATULATIONS TO: Sandra Davis and Becky Silver who sold paintings at the MAC and Betty grace gibson who sold at the Northglenn United Methodist Church and Colleen Christenson, Sandra Davis and Dianna Wilson who sold at St. Anthony, North . I apologize for not getting them reported sooner. CONGRATULATIONS TO: Isolde Gilliland who was juried into Art Gallery 3698. CHRISTMAS PARTY A big thank you to Betty grace gibson for organizing the great party we had last month, and to all those who helped her. Also, thanks to everyone who brought food. It was wonderful. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT: OMG....Another year has passed. Where did it go? Wouldn’t it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press “Ctrl - Alt - Delete” and start all over? Oh well, we have a chance to set all those resolutions and goals that we know that we will never keep but sounds good anyway. Each of us has our own busy lives to lead, our family and friends to share our joys and our good health to keep, but don’t forget to keep your artistic juices flowing. Be creative, try something new and different. Don’t be afraid. After all who was the first person to look at a cow and say “I think I’ll squeeze those dangly things and drink whatever comes out”. Keep painting, Dianna ART FROM THE HEART Remember, the deadline for submitting entries is January 25. There will be a mini show in conjunction with the exhibit at the College Hill Library. Paletteers members may bring bin work, framed paintings and prints no larger than 11” x 14”, cards, bookmarks, art magnets, tiles and embellished books.
