PS: I think I will do something similar so
my family will know what to do with the

the years.
Our workshops are usually paid by PGA. Monies that were donated by pass members
but earmarked just for workshops. Lets’ use these funds.
WORKSHOP IDEA?
Do you have an idea for our yearly workshop…..write your desire
(drawing; w/c painting; collage; sculpture; oil painting, etc.) on a sheet of
paper.
Give to President Werner or Vice President Nola so decisions can be
checked into. Time slips by so fast and arrangements have to be made if
we are to have one.
Many talented artists ready to share their expertise.

Be Disciplined! Nothing like a rigid schedule to
get those creative juices flowing freely.
Developing a routine schedule is good Pavlovian
