TCC Art Show
Please check your time line for our TCC Show!  Paintings are to be brought to the TCC Gallery on Monday, Nov. 5th between 10 AM & 12:00, noon.  Make sure your paintings are properly framed and wired for hanging; no saw tooth hangers. You should have your contact information, title, and price of your artwork on the back of all entries.  The Artists’ Reception will be Nov. 8th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at the TCC Gallery.

Scholarships Awarded
The Scholarship Committee met at the Oswald’s home to review the 13 applicants’ forms and jpgs of their portfolios.  We’re happy to announce our two recipients: Arielle Monks, a junior, and Charis Schneider, a freshman; both are art students at ORU.  Thanks to the committee of Nancy Swindler, Robin Hutchings, Karen Thompson, Carol Mulcare, Bill and Mary Oswald for all their hard work!

BIG CHANGE of Date for November Meeting
The members voted at the last meeting to change our November date because many are traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Luckily we can meet on NOVEMBER 27th, TUESDAY at the regular place and time!  Our guest speaker, Dale Martin, had this time available, so we’re good to go; mark your calendar for this change.  Please try and attend as our new officers will be introduced and it will be your last chance to sign up for our FUN Christmas Brunch and Ornament Exchange!
