Tejas Art Club Meeting

July 2006

For those of you unable to attend our July 20th meeting here is a brief account of what you missed:

The bi-monthly meeting of the Tejas Art Club meeting met on July 20th, 2006 at the Blanco Library. Those members present were Vaudie Burton, Pete Garcia, Phyllis Fralick, Joyce Alsup, Olga Ibarra and Linda Howard.

Our Guest for the evening was Barbara Dowdy. Barbara is now a member of our club.

Vaudie explained how she paints the building blocks with Gesso then paints them with oils. She has sold all but one.

After introductions of all members and visitors, we discussed a contest for recruiting new members for the club. President Linda Howard will be giving the member who recruit’s the most new members an artist’s easel. This contest starts on July 20th 2006 and runs until our September meeting. Please encourage your new members to attend the September meeting.

No treasurers report.
