President’sNotes
Well summer is behind us and fall is trying to show up but with the weather still in the 70's and 80's I am having trouble getting into the Halloween spirit but the great piece taught by Peg Altemus after the September meeting and the wonderful piece that Kathy Bacskay will be teaching in October I am starting to get into the mood for pumpkins , apples and witches in my painting. It was nice to see all of you at the September meeting and I hope to see many more of you at the November meeting. We will have a short meeting , the installation of your new board and then paint a great piece designed by Kathy Denneler , taught by her and all the surfaces, paints and patterns supplied by her. She says this is her thank you to us for all the years she has been a member of this chapter. We will miss her and Louise greatly . They have both been very active in this chapter for many years. We are happy to hear that Louise likes her new home and I hope many of you will take the time to send her a letter or card now and again.
Our special raffle drawing will be held after the meeting in November so there is still time to get tickets if you haven't already purchased some. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are talking about another raffle next year and hope to have details at the November meeting. Next year we will have some changes to our lunches at meeting so be sure to read your newsletters. Also we are doing some chapter house cleaning and updating. The extra appliances we have are going to be given to a group that helps families in need.
Thank you to all the people that stepped up to be on the board for 2017. Without you there wouldn't be a chapter and without our wonderful members we would not be as great as we are. This chapter has amazing members and I am proud to be part of this chapter. I look forward to seeing you at the November meeting at the Providence Center in Fairfax . Have a great fall season and remember to take time to paint.
Ann
Thank You As you may know, Jean Rood is downsizing for a move. After many years of teaching she is generously sharing her stash with the NCC.

Since then I've served on committees every year, painted lots of community service, raffle items, and taught paint-ins and Getaway classes.
