From our President, Chris Rawlins

The new year is here (or almost).  We are underway in planning some wonderful painting classes for 2005.  Please be sure to register for the classes by sending money to our amazing programs leader, Pat Flieger. (1140 View Drive, Richland WA, 99352)   Once you have paid the class fee to Pat, she will let the teacher know, so that you will receive your pattern and instructions for the class.

 Reminder:  Dues for 2005 should have been received.  Cle Ella has reported that few members have re-joined for 2005.  To continue to receive newsletters, please pay your dues promptly.  You may pay dues directly to Cle Ella by mailing them to her (220 Gemini Drive, Pasco, WA, 99301), or you can pay at the January meeting.
