President’s Message Dear Members,
Fall is definitely upon us! I am thinking cool weather anyway.
We had some exciting classes this year; we enjoyed painting a “rooster” with Gail. Gloria taught us to paint “New England” scenery by Rebecca Trimble in September. So much fun!! Thanks so much Gail and Gloria for sharing your art.
In October; after our monthly meeting, Ruby will teach us to paint a “Fall leave” in oils. You won’t want to miss the two days seminar in November 7 & 8. This is a two day seminar free of charge for all members. The instructor will be Arlee Jenkins. These are 2 great acrylic projects: on Saturday we will be painting a “Tennessee Retreat” and Sunday will be “Red Poppies”. Ladies everything will be provided for you, you just need a desire to paint. Hope to see you in all there.
Show & Tell is very important; please remember to bring your painting projects to the next meeting. We still have time to complete the 2015 Golden Palette Award nomination; the form is due to Ruby or Mary by October first.
Getting excited about the Christmas Luncheon in December;
Lisa has great plans for the last social event of 2015.

MIDA CHAPTER Nominations for the 2016 Board
According to our bylaws the bios for nominations should be in member’s hands two weeks before
voting. We’ll vote on October 3rd. at our chapter meeting. We are looking forward to great attendance.
President, Edith Martin: It has been a pleasure to serve as your president for the last two years. I have enjoyed very much being a MIDA chapter member, and working with the board and committee members. I have served on the Board as a Treasurer for two years and as the Newsletter Editor for several more years. My husband David and I moved to Cumming, Ga. 12 years ago. Together, we have three daughters and four grandchildren. I’ve been painting off and on since 1998. I became a member of SDP in 2000 and have attended four conferences. In April of 2007 I retired from Equifax after 37 years of service. As a Director of Global Education I was responsible for managing the training function as well as the budget. If elected for the 2016 term, I will be honored to serve you and will continue to work hard for the chapter.
1st Vice President (Programs) Ann Jones: I was born in Mechanicsville, Virginia, and that is where I raised my two boys and one girl. In 2002 I moved to Bradenton, Florida, to be closer to my parents who are still with me and live in Ft. Myers, FL. I have five grandchildren in Virginia, and two older brothers, one in Florida and one in South Carolina. On November 16th, 2002 I married my husband and best friend Richard Jones on a beach on the Gulf of Mexico on Anna Marie Island. We came through Clarkesville, Georgia, several years ago and I said to him that I could live in a little town like this. We bought in August 2011 when Richard retired in December 2014 it was time for us to be near the mountains, so here we are. I started painting 11 years ago in a Monday-night class in the mobile home park we lived in. The teacher became a dear friend and because of her and my husband, I am a member of two chapters and SDP. My husband got with Marianne and sent in my papers which he also signed me up for The Gulf to Bay Decorative Artist Chapter for part of my Christmas in 2009. GBDA, where I was Hospitality for two years and Ways & Means for two years. I have worked in many different fields throughout my life and now my career is painting in my studio. I am honored to be a member of MIDA and would be honored to be an officer in the chapter and I will not let you down. 2nd Vice President (Membership), Angie Erwin: My husband Scotty and I have been married for 22 years. We have one 16 year old son, Jack who keeps us very busy volunteering with Boy Scouts of America and the Lumpkin County High School Band of Gold. I’ve been the Office Administrator for the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Georgia for 14 years. I am reasonably new to decorative painting and to MIDA, but love to paint and enjoy our group of ladies. I look forward to our monthly meetings and can’t wait to continue to learn more from each of you.
MIDA News Letter Vol # 3 - Issue #5, 2015 Page 6
Secretary, Brenda King: My husband and I were both born in Habersham County. We moved to Gwinnett County in 1967, where we raised four sons and ran a successful craft business. I started taking painting classes when the boys were young. I love to paint in acrylics and oils. I enjoy coming to MIDA and I have learned a lot of new things about painting. I am honored to be nominated as your Secretary for 2016. If elected, I will do my best to serve you to the best of my ability. I appreciate your trust in me as secretary of MIDA and will do my best for the chapter and its members.
Treasurer, Linda B. Payne: I have been the treasurer for MIDA for the past two years. It has been my pleasure to work with the present board and the members of MIDA. My husband and I live in Carnesville, GA., Franklin County. I retired in September, 2000 after 35 years of working for the Franklin County Board of Education. In January, 2001, I started working as Chief Deputy for the Franklin County Tax Commissioner’s office and worked there for five years until I left to take care of my mother. We have two sons and four grandchildren. I started painting in 1985 at Sarah Cary’s studio and have loved every minute of it whether it is oils, acrylic, watercolor or whatever. If re-elected, I will try to serve the chapter and the members to the very best of my ability. MIDA Nominating Committee:

About Arlee Jenkins
My art education is extensive. I have had many instructors, too numerous to mention individually, all masters in their own field. Because I have gathered knowledge from so many sources, I am a well rounded, accomplished artist/instructor. I teach oils (traditional, wet-on-wet, and water immiscible), acrylics, mixed media, Genesis, flower paper sculpting, as well as decorative and folk art.
The most valuable lesson that I have learned and mastered over the years is how to share what I love so dearly, and that is how to teach the art of painting to others. Without fail, I can show you how, you too, can create beautiful works of art.
When I am not teaching in my studio in Tiverton, RI, I am traveling up, down and across this beautiful land we call the United States, painting, teaching art, and visiting my 12 grandchildren. What a wonderful life! Professional Services Offered
Teaches a variety of mediums Teaches all level of students Teaches workshops and classes in local area Teaches Seminars nationwide Demonstrates manufacturer’s products and painting techniques at both Wholesale and Retail locations Teaches and demonstrates at Trade Show
