SPA CITY PALETTEER ART CLUB: ANNUAL ART CRITIQUE**** Art Displayed below**** SPEAKING FOR EACH OF US, WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION FOR THE SUPPORT OF EACH ART CLUB MEMBER WHO CONTRIBUTED SO GENEROUSLY OF YOUR TIME, TALENT, TICKET SALES AND CONTRIBUTIONS. THE RIBBON AWARD AND ART CRITIQUE LUNCHEON WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT EACH OF YOU WHO ASSISTED IN EVERY WAY AS WELL AS JUST BEING THERE AND BRINGING YOUR FRIENDS. WE KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE PUT MORE INTO A SILENT AUCTION ITEM THAN IT MAY HAVE BEEN BID AND WON FOR OR PAID MORE THAN SOMETHING MAY HAVE BEEN IN VALUE, AND THAT IN ITSELF WAS A GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION OF YOUR EFFORT AND SUPPORT. THE PRESENT FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE TO THE CLUB IS APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 FROM TICKET SALES, SILENT AUCTION AND 50/50 SALES. AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, THIS AMOUNT WILL BE SPENT WISELY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN FROM PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTISTS, DEMONSTRATIONS, WORKSHOPS, AND SCHOLARSHIPS. YOUR FRIENDLY WELCOME TO OUR GUESTS, THE BEAUTY IN YOUR ART, CONTRIBUTIONS FOR DOOR PRIZES AND SILENT AUCTION ITEMS EXCEEDED THE FINANCIAL GAIN BY BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT IS BECOMING WELL RECOGNIZED BY OUR COMMUNITIES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO AND ANTICIPATE AN EXCELLENT YEAR AHEAD AS SOME WONDERFUL NEW IDEAS AND EVENTS PROGRESS. IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING BEFORE OUR LAST CLUB MEETING OF THE SEASON, ON APRIL 20, WE WISH YOU SAFE TRAVELING WITH ANTICIPATION TO OUR FIRST MEETING WHEN YOU RETURN, ON OCTOBER 20, 2011. SEE YOU THEN AND HAVE A WONDERFUL SPRING AND SUMMER. APPRECIATIVELY YOURS, THE SPA CITY PALETTEER CLUB OFFICERS, MARGE, PAT, LAVERNE, JEAN, AND CHERYL
