Bobbie's Notes
Leisurely summer days and perhaps some unusual art adventures - we'll have fun exchanging stories at the Sept. 8 meeting!
Meanwhile, a couple of things you can do right now will add to your opportunities and enrich your friendships. The summer postcard exchange is going strong - be sure to do your creative share. And our Membership chair is looking for your renewal. Here are their messages:
Summer Postcards
Hello, Postcard Exchange Participants -
I hope everyone is enjoying the postcard exchange! I just realized that summer is half over (which in some ways, especially if you're in Tucson, is a good thing!), so I'm sending a friendly reminder that if you haven't sent any postcards yet it would be good to get started!
I've been getting some terrific cards from my secret pal! (I sign up the second month, and then I ask my sister to do the matches so I can be surprised too). Hope the same is true for all.
Here's to art-making fun!
Sue Agnew
