Dear KAS members. Linda, our president, has been having a difficult time recently, so I'm filling in this time for her with the monthly letter to the members. Linda's mother died the first weekend of March, so she's been away. And her husband, Red, was recently diagnosed with cancer. The prognosis for him is good though, but he will under go cancer treatments at MD Anderson. We all know he's in good hands at that hospital. While Linda is greiving her mother and she and her husband are coping with his cancer treatment, let's remember her and send some positive healing prayers her way. Spring is a busy month for the Art Society. We have our Spring Show and Competition at the end of the month, and our LSAG Convention registration coming at the beginning of April. Please take the time to read through the information in this letter, so we can work together to make our competition a great success! In this newsletter you'll find information from Sally, our show coordinator, and links to the files you'll need to use to enter your art into the competition. You will also find information regarding the LSAG Convention and registration. Cholla with be with us this month for our demonstration, and she will show us how to pour watercolor and acrylic. I've never had a chance to see this technique so I'm looking forward to it, and I look forward to visiting with the rest of you! ~ Kristin |
