Hello, and welcome to this month's “Presidents Message”. 

August’s Meeting has come and gone, but allow me to take a look back over the last month.  

Congratulations to German Boettcher and Bill Slinger for their paintings being accepted into this year’s Florida Watercolor Society Annual Show!  I hope you will take time to compliment them for this honor.    I think we should show our support for all of those who entered.  It took courage, and we are proud of you.  And this Board will continue to support those who wish to try again next year.

 On a sadder note, we mention the passing of two of our members,
Joe Bucciante and Bud Fitch.  Bud Fitch’s Family has been nice enough to donate art supplies and books to CWC.  The Art Supplies were sold at the August Meeting, and thanks to your generosity we have raised over $50.   The proceeds will be going toward prize money for the Homosassa Springs Art Show. The books are being processed by Carolyn Parks and hopefully will be available next month.

WE HAVE A NEW LIBRARY!

For those who missed this months meeting, the Library Cabinet is now in place.  With the addition of the new books from Bud Fitch, the Library continues to grow. The Bud Fitch collection has been cataloged by Carolyn Park, so members may check out the books at the September meeting. I also wish to thank Tom Jones for his donation of a new DVD.   But we still NEED a Librarian.  Thanks to the new cabinet the task should be much easier.  And I am proud to announce that Carolyn Park, in addition to cataloguing the new books, is also heading up a committee to make suggestions to the Board in making the Library better.

 Congratulations to Gene Fox and Jeanne Conrad on winning the prizes donated by Grafito.   Thanks Grafito.  However, I am considering making a motion at the Board meeting forbidding Jeanne from any more prizes!!!!  (Just kidding Jeanne). 

Now on to this coming Month 

The September Meeting will be “Members Show & Tell”.  We hope you bring in something to share with us.  We look forward to the opportunity to share an afternoon of friends, food, fun, and Art.  And if that is not enough to encourage you, there will be a “Door Prize”.   But you will have to come to the meeting to see what that is going to be! 

So until then…..let us continue.

"Show & Tell" 
always a Highlight of the Fall Programs

Our September session is fast approaching and this program is always one of the highlights of the year. The “Show & Tell” program is an opportunity for each one of us to provide a review of the work that we have accomplished as artists over the past few months. It’s time to shine – it’s time to show off your talent, tell us how it was done, what components you used, paints and colors selected, and any special techniques employed. There will be plenty of time for everyone to participate. So, everyone - on Friday, September 10th,  bring one of those masterpieces and share it with your CWC artist friends.
