SUMMER PICNIC

Tues, August 12, 6:00 pm

Fawn Lake Cabana

Bring your favorite Picnic Dish and your own drinks and come on out to enjoy an evening of food and fellowship with members and families.

We are being hosted by Deb Hart. She says to get in the gate if it is closed, drive up to the entry cupboard and punch in 145 and someone will answer from the house and open the gate. From the gate follow the signs to the Cabana.

Fawn Lake is 2 miles on Cole Road from Craig Road (Park & Ride Lot, off Hwy 3). From Olympia, take the Lynch Road exit and go to Cole Road.

If you need more directions, you may call Deb at 426-8906

GET READY FOR FALL

It will soon be Autumn and back to regular meetings.  We will be electing a new board and we need people to volunteer for offices.  Adrianne has resigned her office (which she filled two years ago on a temporary basis) so we need someone to act as secretary at our next meetings.  Please be thinking about what you can do to help us fill these important positions.

We also need some ideas about programs for the coming year.  We especially need a program for the September meeting.  Bring your ideas to the picnic.  

HAVE SOME ART TO SELL?

PAA has signed up for space at the Shelton Arts Festival on August 14, 10 AM to 4 PM at the Civic Center.  Jora needs to know, by August 1, who wants to use this space and how much work they want to display so she can pay for the number of tables we need.  Please contact Jora Lee at 898-0106. She is a busy lady so if no answer, leave a message. 

PAA WEBSITE OPEN
Check out our new website. To get there, type in  www.peninsulaartassociation.com.

Those people who want to be “green”, may want to get the newsletter on line rather than on paper.  From now on, the newsletter will be published on the website.  Remember that you can show your work there too in your own online gallery.  If you have your own website you may want a link, and that will be possible.  Contact Janel to make arrangements.  Email Janel 

Beryl Ann “Babs” Watson

Babs Watson, a long time member of PAA, passed away June 3, 2008 at Capitol Medical Center in Olympia, WA. from cancer.

Babs was a self taught artist whose work reflected her lighthearted spirit and zest for life. Her work has been collected in the US and in Mexico. 

She leaves her husband, Robert “Bob” Watson, and two daughters, Jolie Aronson and Lora Burnett.  Babs was a regular entrant in our Spring Show and won blue ribbons several times. She will be sorely missed.
