President’s Message Dear Members,

Finally warmer weather has arrived!

Thank you Janice, painting the Snowman on the Shovel

was a beautiful project. Trying to think what to say about

Basket Bonanza; there are so many words, but

FANTASTIC and AMAZING sums up a successful event.

We had so much FUN. It was great to see some past

members and repeat attendees enjoying themselves.

Lisa, THANK YOU so much, your hard work paid off in a

big way. And we can’t thank you enough for your

willingness to again chair this event in 2016.

THANK YOU to all the hosts for presenting such a

creative and beautiful table settings. Special thanks to all

of those who helped in the kitchen, we could not have

done it without you. Last, but not least, thank you for

your baskets, 48 of them; and they were beautiful.

I would like to welcome Ann Jones to our Chapter. She

just moved to the Clarksville area from Florida.

Hope to see you in June, remember we will be painting with

Lisa after our business meeting.

Edith

MIDA Business Meeting Minutes

Saturday, April 4, 2015

President, Edith Martin: Edith called the meeting to order and welcomed

everyone. Georgia McDonald, former member, and Sharon Harrison were introduced to the members. A motion

was made and approved to give a free National Membership to one of our members. Gail Routt was the winner

of the membership. The Cumming Girls will be doing Paint-In, 2016.

1st Vice President, Mary Erwin: Plans for the September In-House seminar are underway. Lisa will be

teaching the after meeting painting at the June meeting.

2nd Vice President – Angie Erwin: Angie asked that everyone pick up their membership cards and make

sure that information on the membership list was current. She also needs to see your National Membership card.

Treasurer, Linda Payne: Nothing to report

Secretary, Brenda King: Nothing to report

Newsletter Editor, Gail Routt: Edith helped me get the last newsletter sent out but hopefully next month I’ll

have my computer issues straightened out.

Ways & Means, Lisa: Final details of Basket Bonanza are in place.

Awards, Ruby Bagby: A motion was made and approved to change the guidelines for the Golden Pallet award

from : “award Recipients are only eligible for one award” to “award Recipient can receive the

award more than once”. This was suggested due to the fact that we don’t have a large group to vote from

anymore. The rule that current Board members are not eligible for the award are still in place.

All business completed, meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully Submitted by,

Brenda King, Secretary

A note from Angie, 2nd V.P.

Just a quick reminder, I will need to see your 2015 SDP membership card. You can bring it to

our June meeting or you can make a copy and email it to me. Some of you have already taken

care of this and I thank you!

We also had several changes to our membership list and I will have an updated version for

everyone at our June meeting.

Many of you received your 2015 MIDA Handbook at Paint In. If you have not received your

handbook please let me know. I know I've ask everyone at the last two meetings but just in case

I've missed someone, I'll be happy to get that out to you.

Thanks so much and see you all soon. Happy painting!


Ways and Means Lisa Copeland M/770-540-7502 [email protected] Many thanks to everyone for a very successful Basket Bonanza!! All of the tables were so amazing and we had a record 48 beautiful baskets, including David Martin’s beautiful handmade bowls and birdhouse. A special thanks to Gloria and Edith for another wonderful lunch; you both are so talented and efficient. The appetizers were fabulous again this year and we had plenty to go around. Basket Bonanza is a huge group effort and everyone pitched in and made a lovely event; everyone seemed to have a really good time and I heard many positive comments. It is wonderful to see everyone participate in MIDA’s events! A big shout out to Brenda King who is always the first there and the last to leave willing to do anything to help. You are a gem! One more shout out to Miss Ruby who was there on Friday helping set up those heavy tables and right back helping in the kitchen on Saturday! Scharff Brush Sales: I will be taking orders for brushes at every meeting. We must have a minimum order of $150 to receive the discount that benefits you and MIDA. Remember, you receive 40% off retail. Most of you have brochures at home, but I will be happy to mail you an order form with the new prices. All checks should be written to MIDA. If you have an order between meetings, you may email or call me with the order. Thanks to all the “Birthday Girls” for bringing their gifts to the April meeting. We all love to win something painted by our talented members. Pig in a Poke is a little different now. Three people took home bags to fill and bring back. I’m sure the bags will be filled with great stuff!! I am “teaching” the after meeting class in June. If you need a pattern, I will be glad to send you one on vellum; just let me know. This will be an interesting afternoon to say the least. I am so grateful to be a part of such a special group of ladies! Love you all!!

Lisa

After Meeting Painting Project

Saturday, June 6th Habersham Senior Center

Registration Form

Project Description: Lace Doily Medium: Acrylic

Teacher: Lisa Copeland

Surface: This can be put on any shape, it fits perfectly on the bentwood heart box that Michael's carries for $1.

Preparation: Surface should be base coated prior to class; I use a foam roller for base coating as it gives the surface a nice smooth finish. Basecoat with a color of your choice, but it has to be dark, so the lace will show.

I will have patterns printed on vellum available at the April meeting, pattern should be transferred with white graphite.

Provided: Pattern in vellum and paint.

Brushes: I use a sable brush for painting the lace, however it is not necessary; a small flat or filbert works fine for washing. A fine liner for detail and line work. Dots can either be put on with a brush or stylus. Your favorite brush for doing stroke work, I use a round brush appropriate for the size of the stroke, this design has small and larger strokes

Cost: $5.00 (give to teacher before class starts) Supplies to bring: Normal Acrylic painting supplies
