BRUSH AND PALETTE CLUB PRESIDENT'S LETTER 2023

Pat Edgerton

President’s Letter 2023-24 Welcome back, B&P members! I hope that
everyone is enjoying the summer. As I thought about writing this letter,
I could not help butreflect on the past year.
It was certainly a rebuilding year for our club, after being shut down for
three years due to covid! We took baby steps to get back in business,
starting slowly, wearing masks, with well-spaced seating and no coffee
time at our meetings. Our programs were limited, as were the number of
workshops we held. Honestly, your workshop committee wasn’t sure
if anyone would come!
Well, we got through the year well, and even managed to hold a
successful show after a three year hiatus!
Now we’re ready to move forward at full steam!!

We have a full slate of officers and convenors. We welcome familiar faces
to these positions, as well as many new faces! I would also like to welcome
our new members, who, in many cases, have waited years to join our club.
If you spot a new face in the group, please introduce yourself and make
them feel welcome. Wearing your B&P nametag would be very helpful! As
always, all members are encouraged to contribute to the working of the
club by offering to volunteer for various committees.Your ideas are always
welcome, and you get to know your fellow artists. This is especially
important if you are a new member. It’s an excellent way to get to know
your Club!

Looking ahead to this year, we have many exciting events to look forward
to! Unless stated otherwise, our meetings are held on the first Wednesday
of each month, at Riverside United Church on Riverside Drive, beginning
at 1:00pm.
We start off the year with our Pot Luck luncheon at the September 6th
meeting, beginning at noon. Please remember to bring your own plates,
cutlery, mug….and favourite dish to share. We also plan a special luncheon
for the December meeting…with more details to follow.

 

Sincerely,

Pat Edgerton

President - The Brush and Palette Club
