Mini Club is formed

It's Official!  Newcomers has a new Mini Club...the Artful Codgers!

The first meeting was held on Wednesday, June 26, 2013, at the Wright Home (aka The Peace House).

The morning was a brainstorming session to talk about all things artsy.  We all come from varied experiences in the arts BUT we realized we have a strong desire to create and we are willing to teach what we know and learn what we don't. What fun!

Since the best way to get started is to "just do it", we decided to meet on Friday mornings at 9am.  The first get together will be  July 12th, at The Wright House.  At that time, we will gather all the materials we each have to assess what supplies we are short on.  A Naples shopping trip may be in our future?!?!?

We wouldn't want to faint from hunger while we create so Bonnie and Ruth Lee will bring goodies for the meetings on the 12th and 19th.  Laura will have water and tea available.

The information about the club will be posted in the July Newcomers newsletter, with a sign up sheet available with Gail at the July luncheon.  After we see how many sign up that day, then we will decide a number limit to our group....simply because it will be hard to find a creating space large enough to accommodate great numbers.
* NOTE here...the newsletter will say we are the Artful Dodgers because I MESSED UP. I will correct it before it is published again.

We have an email address:

This blog, http://marcoartfulcodgers.blogspot.com/ will be where we can post news and pictures, with an email sent out when new items are posted.  You can also subscribe at the side of the page to be notified when there is something new.


I think that about covers the first meeting.

It is a great group and we are going to create some amazing things...I just feel it!
