Ava Richey's Art News

This coming Monday, May 9th, we will meet at Bullard Beach State Park, at Noon, at the 2nd paved parking lot (by the bathrooms) on the right after the campground entrance and boat ramp.

It's hard to say what the weather will be, but let's give it a try. There is a covered picnic area nearby but it may be in use. If it's too bad we can move to a restaurant in town.

Hope to see you there. Thanks. Happy painting. My phone is 541-347-4643 or cell is 541-297-6118.
Ava
