Dear Members and Patrons,
It’s beginning to look a lot like Fall. I can’t help but think of the sunflower field, Young’s Dairy, Enon’s Apple Butter Festival, and of course our October Workshop. The leaves will soon begin to turn and what better time than this to use our imaginations to paint a colorful leaf painting. The leaves can be any color we desire and what a wonderful way to think about positive and negative shapes.
Many good things are happening here at FAA and our speaker will be inspiring, so bring a friend, enjoy great food, and a fabulous program. I am sure we will be energized and will want to paint. The meeting begins promptly at 7 pm. The Board will meet at 6 pm.
