October classes will be available for perusing and sign up at the social this Monday. Our education department is planning some fabulous learning opportunities just for you!
Our new Rules and Regulations: You may recall that we voted on two changes to our rules last fall. One has to do with the treasurer, a tiny change. The second one has to do with allowing outside guests to take classes. We just signed up our very first guest under the new rules! This could be a way of energizing our club with more people to take classes.
The new rule states: Guests accompanied by a member in good standing may sign up, pay and attend classes and workshops with permission of the instructor and only if they will not be displacing Club members. Guests must pay the amount charged to members for the function plus the required RCSC guest fee per attendance. Guests may attend one (1) workshop or one (1) class series per month.
Don’t forget! We have an exchange program going with Artists By The Lake. You don’t have to join ABTL over the summer in order to take a class from them. Maybe you’d like a change of scenery, or want to try another medium or even another instructor might suit you. In any case, now is the time to try something new. But remember to come back to us, and share what you learned!
Zentangle class: Our education committee is working on finding a teacher for a fun and relaxing technique. We will let you know when it’s coming!
Take it easy this summer and plan on fun new things happening in the fall!
Most of the board positions are ending in December so we are looking for new board members starting in January. If you are interested or know of someone who is, please inform Kaj Lofgreen or Maggie Dutch, our nominating committee.
