WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM
There are six critical positions that need to be filled on the ART board for the 2013 year. The positions open are President, Vice President, Exhibits Chairman, Hostess, Newsletter Publisher and Raffle Chairman.  Unless we have members volunteer for these positions, we will not have a viable organization and may have to disband.  Current board members are willing to mentor their replacements.  To volunteer for any of these positions call Sandi Willhite at (918) 398-7660.

Next General Meeting is October 15, 2012
The next meeting of Alpha Rho Tau will be held at 6:30 Monday evening, October 15th, at the Hardesty Regional Library, 8316 E. 93rd St., Tulsa.

Programs
Everyone really enjoyed September’s speaker, Gil Adams, who did a fabulous oil demo of plein art techniques for landscapes.  October’s program will be Dian Church on Three Dimensional Painting.

Door Prizes
Congratulations to Sandy Willhite for winning the wonderful portable wooden easel donated by Deborah Kingsbury. Unfortunately, due to the excitement of winning the silk flower arrangement, donated by Jacque Gonzales and a door prize by Delores Creekmore, I neglected to write down the names of the other two door prize winners.  I’ll try to do better at our next meeting!

Our door prizes for October are a gorgeous floral watercolor by Mary Oswald, an abstract by Sharon Allred, a delightful butterfly and rustic wind mill watercolor both by Kathy Lamb and donated by Karen Lamb.  The framing of our door prizes is by Jacque Gonzales, courtesy of Ziegler’s.  Be sure to sign in for your winning chance.
