March Happenings

 

Art Talk Social

 

 On March 24th something special is planned for the Society, according to Susan Nicholas Gephart, activities chair.  An Art Talk social from 1-3p.m. will give members a time to talk about art, socialize and get to know each other better.  Susan invites you to bring a friend and a snack.  A variety of drinks will be available.  She also suggests car pooling as parking on Bishop Street can be limited at times.  Her address is 351 E. Bishop St., Bellefonte.  Please RSVP by email.

 

 

Elks Club Show

 

                        The Elks Club Show has been cancelled because of renovations being done to the club.

 

 

 

 

April Happenings

 

Regular Meeting

 

            In April, we will have our regular meeting on Sunday, the 30th, at 1:30p.m. at the Senior Center.  The time was changed because of a conflict with the Carsten workshop.  Linda Schimmel, program chair, has invited a representative from Dick Blick to bring pastel materials to our meeting for us to touch, sample and buy.  Our volunteer webmaster has put in a link to the Blick site on our calendar of events.  Bring a friend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New York City Bus Trip

 

The trip to the Metropolitan Museum is being advertised in the CDT in an effort to meet the required number of people.  Responses need to be made to mtrask@adelphia.net by the end of March.  If we do not have enough passengers, the trip will be cancelled and people will be notified either by phone or email.

May Happenings

 

Robert K. Carsten Workshop

 

            The Carsten workshop is full and a waiting list has been started.  Please remember that the balance of the workshop fee is due by the end of March.  Also, the site has been changed from the armory to the community room at the Nittany Mall.

 

 

 

2007

Maggie Price Workshop

 

          Even though this workshop is scheduled for July 30-August 3, 2007, people are already calling and asking for information.  Maggie Price advertises her workshops nationally and has stated that ours will be the only one in the Mid-Atlantic Region in 2007.  If any of our Society members are interested in this workshop, they should establish their reservation by mailing in a deposit as soon as possible.  All pertinent information is on the registration form and can be downloaded from the website.  There will be a class limit of 12 students and then a waiting list will be started.  I have had three inquiries already, so I think the slots will go fast.
