President's Message
I'm excited for this time of year. Time to pack up the drab winter clothes and don
the pretty pastels of pink, blue, yellow and green. Our spring time projects burst
with color like the soon to see blooms of the year.
Now that the snow is behind us, the Michigan Mixer will be here before you know
it. All of us will be busy making this event memorable and fun. If you have not
done so yet, it's not too late to sign up for a project to paint and volunteer for the
mixer.
Our after project for this April's meeting will provide the opportunity to help us
meet the demands for memory boxes. Bring your painting supplies as described
inside the newsletter and have fun
.
I would like to thank everyone of you for making this club functional, creative,
and for sharing the gift of art.

a decorative artist participating in the Memory Box Program.
The Memory Box Program is a group of decorative artists who donate their time and money to paint boxes for
grieving families. Each box is painted with great love
and a sincere wish to reach out in support and understanding. As artists we hope that this box brings you
some small comfort and the knowledge that many people
understand that your child was special and very, very
loved.
