Hello Everyone,

This coming Monday, February 28, 2011 we will meet 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Coquille Valley Art Association, 10144 Hwy 42, Coquille.

Please bring your lunch. Hopefully it will be nice enough to paint outdoors, but there is plenty of room indoors if it's cold. I will be late getting there, but please come when you can. :)

Hope to see you there. My cellphone number is 541-297-6118.
