Business
The Party Planning committee is thinking up fun things to do at the Christmas Party. We will have a brunch; there will be games and prizes! An email signup list will be sent out after the November Show and Sale for who is bringing what foods to eat.
We are gearing up for the annual Show and Sale taking place on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Ann has signs and will need help "planting" them a week or so before that Saturday. There are some guidelines for sales tables and that information will be emailed to our members. Set up for the Show and Sale will be on Friday November 14 from 2-4 p.m. or can be right before the show starts on Saturday at 9:00 a.m.
For those who wish to exhibit at the SullivanMunce art museum in Zionsville next year, you need to send your artist statement and 5 photos for examples of your work to Andrea as this will be a juried exhibit.
Program
Sue presented a fantastic program on how she makes doll armor. She brought her prize-winning doll at the Ohio State Fair for an example. After giving some history about armor, she showed us how she made a pattern and then cut the pieces from craft foam. The pieces are then put together and painted and embellished. An excellent program, Sue, full of information and ideas. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
