3 The Capitole Record June/July 2018 Page!3 Thank You President s Corner Our May Seminar was a smashing success. Thanks John and Marie, Sandy and BJ for all you did to make this a success. Thanks also to all who attended. I hope you enjoyed the Seminar. Lydia was a great teacher. I really loved the projects. John, Marie, Frank and I attended the last Art Quest that Kitty Gorrell sponsored at the Greenbrier. Marie and I had great classes with Robert Warren and Mark Polomchak. We were there for 4 days. If you think walking at HOOT is something, you should see the Greenbrier. Sorry to say that Marie broke a bone in her foot right before the event. She was able to attend and got around in a scooter. And, John was a real sport getting her everything she needed. While we were in class, John and Frank went golfing. We had a great time together. Next, we have our Luncheon, and I have to get going on painting the table favors and centerpiece. The Luncheon is scheduled for July 21 st at the Holiday Inn, Holiday Drive, Sterling, VA. Remember to bring things for the raffle. September is the Art Show. Bring paintings that you have painted in the last 18 months to enter into the show. Until I see you at the Luncheon, Happy Painting. Lorraine Thank you to Marie, John and the entire seminar committee for hosting a great seminar with Lydia Steeves. She is a great teacher and the committee took great care of our every need. Thanks Ann Davis What a great weekend we had with Lydia Steeves. Great teacher. Thanks Lydia.
