Julie Cloud - President

Happy February!

We had a great meeting in January. We celebrated our club’s 45th birthday! Pat Marler gave an interesting history of IHA and we had four of the original charter members present: Pat Marler, Judy Brown, Betty Jo Evans and Donna Rich.

Sandy Oldham taught us to paint with watercolor pencils and we completed two fun projects. Thank you, Sandy!

Thank you to everyone who submitted projects for the 2027 national teacher. It’s exciting we can bring in ‘big brushes’ to paint with us.

Also, many thanks to all of you who have signed up to either chair or serve on a committee. I can’t say it enough...you are the ones who make this chapter successful.

Here’s to a colorful and artful 2026, with brush in hand.
