CHRISTMAS DINNER
Sign Up: Barbara reminded members to sign up for a dish to bring to the Christmas dinner on December 19, 2009.
Bingo or Bunco: Barbara also wanted to know which game the members preferred for the Christmas party. Barb shared how enjoyable Bunco was for those who had never played and that the game can be used as a fundraiser although we won’t do that at our Christmas dinner. A vote was taken and Bunco won the vote.
Voluntary Ornament Exchange: Bring a hand painted ornament to exchange with other members at the Christmas Party and you will receive one in return. Please be sure the ornament fits inside a small brown paper bag. All the bags are placed on a table and those who brought an ornament will have a chance to choose a bag!

JANUARY CHAPTER PROJECT
Nina Daniels will be facilitating our January Chapter Project: Priscilla Over the Fence
Priscilla is an adorable cat rendered in acrylics. Nina indicated the base coat under the cat should be smooth but the basecoat under the fence could have a rougher texture. We’re looking forward to January! Nina left patterns and pre-work instructions.
