Letter from the 1st Vice President Hi Ladies – We all ‘Give our Thanks’ to Kathy Lamb bringing us a really cute project for the holidays. Thanks Kathy for a great workshop. This was a really cute way to get a jump start on our holiday décor. Since Claire LaRue, our scheduled teacher for November, has had a very bad fall that required surgery, Lisa Fox jumped in to save the day. She has created a few beautiful projects for our members to choose from for the November workshop. At the October meeting, the lovely ‘Pink Poinsettia’ watercolor was chosen for our November project. There is no prep work required for this project and Lisa will supply the paints needed. Don’t miss painting this lovely project. Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret! We will be rescheduling Claire’s project ‘Snowman Pail’ next year. Be sure to keep those prepped surfaces readily available – you’ll have a chance to use them. In November’s 15-minute, mini-class, Lynn Rankin will be teaching finishing tips. This is information that is usable for every one of us. For November, lunch will NOT be served so be sure to bring your own lunch. Coffee and snacks will still be provided as always. Sign-ups are now being taken for our final project of the year. Please contact me directly if you want to sign up for the November 9 th Workshop -- time is short. If you have any questions or need something, you can always contact me by email (rcm0335@gmail.com) or phone (386-338-3137). See you all at the November 9th Workshop, if not before. Ruth McDonald,

ABOUT US Our Club was formed in 2003. Since that time, members have enjoyed trying their skills at various types of art: oil, acrylic, fabric and water color painting, tangles, colored pencil, and glass painting. We paint on many different surfaces, including canvas, gourds, baskets, and wooden surfaces. Our mission is to stimulate interest and appreciation of decorative painting. There is no required level of experience. We invite you to participate in two nonmember sessions without joining. Workshop classes are $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers. We support new members by providing them with some supplies and helping them learn to paint. We have supported various Community projects, such as the Humane Society, Christmas Come True, painted boxes for foster care children, and painted a mural for the Flagler Woman’s Club. In 2023 we reformed as a Club with the name of Palm Coast Decorative Artists. Our goals and projects remain the same and our love of painting has grown. Meetings are held the first Saturday of every month at 9:00 a.m. at the Flagler Women’s Club, 1524 S. Central Avenue, Flagler Beach, FL. After our meeting, we have a scheduled workshop.
