I am so happy you chose me as President. I want to acknowledge the Board of Directors and Committee members for the incredible job they accomplished during the transition.

Good news! Starting in January we will be meeting at Spanish Oaks on the second Saturday of the month from 1-4. March we will be meeting at 6:30 Wed. because of the workshop and demo.

Our December meeting is always fun, and a lot of laughter. Don’t miss it! Bring a dish for the potluck, and a gift-wrapped matted painting, Even if you think your painting isn’t good enough—JUST DO IT! Our meeting will be at Spanish Oaks starting at 6:30pm on Wed. Dec 13. I would appreciate it if members would consider carpooling to help painters who do not drive at night, or painters in your area. Look at the Membership Directory on the NVWS web page to see who is near you.

The Wetlands was an outstanding success. About 50 paintings were donated, and 12 sold ($1800). A big thanks to Vina Curtis, who spearheaded this project and to all the artists who contributed.

I am open to any suggestions for the future. Please email me at nvwspresident@gmail.com.

You are awesome!

Sharon Menary,

President
