New President's Message
Greetings to all chapter members past and present, friends and visitors!
I became the CPSA DC210 chapter president as of november 1, 2011, taking over the reins from Linda Loder after her nine hard-working years at the job. Thank you to all for your vote of confidence in me!
I am excited about the opportunities ahead to grow our membership, organize fun and interesting programs, foster camaraderie, and expand awareness of colored pencil as an art medium in the San Francisco bay area and northern California. To that end, I welcome and encourage you—whether you are currently a member or drifted away years ago—to e-mail me with your ideas and suggestions on what YOU would like the chapter to be and do to keep you coming or bring you back. We are here to support and encourage everyone in the region who works with colored pencil! I may contact you directly to solicit your input, so don't be shy.
If you haven't renewed your membership for 2012 yet, please do! Your dues support the chapter so that we can bring in speakers and the like. Download our new chapter brochure from the Membership page to learn more.
Happy Drawing!
Denise Howard,
President CPSA DC210

Letter from Linda Loder, Next Meeting information
Next Meeting
The next DC210 Chapter meeting will be held on November 12 at 11:00 am - 2:00 pm at the home of
Ken Woodworth, 307 West Oak Street, Lodi, CA
If the weather is nice, we can enjoy some plein air drawing around Ken's koi pond. Or we can enjoy a screening of "Chasing Hockney," a documentary about "the greatest portrait ever" which Ken says is a must-see for all artists. I'm intriqued.
August 6th Meeting Minutes by Linda Loder, Outgoing President.
Election of officers was held at our last meeting at Denise Howard's home in Santa Clara on August 6, 2011.
It's my pleasure to announce the results below.
New Officers Elected
President: Denise Howard
Vice President: Linda Loder
Secretary:
Treasurer: Jackie Chang
Membership Chairman: Linda Huffman
Webmaster/Blog: Yevonne Reynolds
We are certainly appreciative of the work of Jackie Chang, Yevonne Reynolds and Linda Huffman. We are in need of a secretary for the chapter. If you could possibly come forward to help out with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
We have more fun times ahead of us. I'm looking forward to Denise's presidency. She brings new ideas and a good deal of energy with her. I'm sure it will be contagious and we might all catch it. Please help. Give Denise all your support. I know she is going to do a great job.
Also, as of November 1, it's TIME TO RENEW our membership to the Chapter. Please go to the website: http://www.cpsa210.org/. The membership form is on the membership page and the dues at $20 a year for our chapter. If you have any questions, the contact numbers are on the home page. Please let someone know if you need help.
Don't forget you also need to pay your national dues to be a member of the chapter.
Happy Penciling to all,
Linda Loder
Past President DC210.
