________________________________________________________________
Welcome back after a long, hot summer! This is the beginning of the 47th year of DAAG as an established art guild!
GENERAL MEETING: Our General Meeting will be on September 19th, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. at Augustana Lutheran Church, 5000 E. Alameda Avenue. We are on the corner of E. Alameda and South Fairfax in Denver, and we meet on the third Saturday of every month except July, August, and December. Enter through the east door on Fairfax Street and you will find us in the big room at the end of the hall. Members please bring friends to our meetings and remember to wear your nametag! If your sign-in number is called and you are wearing your nametag, you will win $5.00!
SEPTEMBER PROGRAM: We are going to have a watercolor demonstration by Charles Danford, which should be very interesting. Charles has taught at Park Hill and at Windsor Gardens, and he has won many prizes for his beautiful paintings. Don’t miss this inspiring demonstration.
JUNE PROGRAM: DAAG had a white elephant sale, and as usual it was most interesting to see what the members brought in to sell, barter or trade! A lot of paper, paintings, brushes, pens, and magazines changed hands, and we had a good time.
SSSSSSHHHHH!! Please let us be quiet during our demos and critiques. Our talking is disturbing to our guest artists. Thank you.
**SPECIAL NOTICE: The Board will be meeting immediately after the General Meeting on September 19th.
