Who:	We are a group of very friendly people who make our Club a fun place to be. Each of us tries to introduce new members to all of our activities and events, and make everyone feel comfortable. All of the officers are ready and willing to help at any time. Sign up and enjoy the fun!
Monthly Paintings:	Members are encouraged to bring a framed painting to each general meeting to be voted on by those members in attendance. The first and second place paintings will be displayed when a venue is available.
Board Meetings:	The club's open board meetings are held at 10:00 a.m. the Thursday prior to the monthly general meeting at St. Luke's Episcopal Church.

Every week on Thursday, between 10am and 3pm, many club members gather at St. Luke's Episcopal Church to paint and visit. Many bring their lunches. A voluntary donation of $2.00 is suggested. It is a good idea to bring a plastic sheet to protect the church's tables.

During the summers, those who choose to plein air paint meet at the church and carpool to various scenic areas. The church remains open to those wishing to paint inside.
