HOSPICE TREE REPORT
  This year was totally new for the Sussex County Festival of Trees = mainly, the location, but also the committee and the entire function.  It was held in the Rehoboth Convention Center in downtown Rehoboth, which is smaller than the area at Del-Tech; but it was lovely and inviting.  Every single ornament that we painted was wired onto the tree, we added some colorful, shiny ornaments, had a huge bow on top and had the most beautiful tree skirt there.  Check out the pictures on our web site.
Thanks to all of you who painted the ornaments, to Elaine for cutting out all  120 of the ornaments,  those who helped decorate, to Shelly for decorating the lovely wreath, and to Mary for making the gorgeous tree skirt.  You did more than good.   And here's the best part - our tree was bought by Lank, Johnson and Tull, CPA's for $500 and was donated to Nanticoke Hospital where it was displayed!  So a lot of people got to enjoy our fine craftsmanship.  Now we have to start working on next year's!!

The Delmarva Decorative Artists, is a local chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters http://www.decorativepainters.org 

Our chapter organized in 2000, the first meeting was held July 20, 1998.  Members were from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia - "Delmarva".  We currently meet most months in Rehoboth, Dover & Georgetown Delaware.  Our average membership is 50.  We pride ourselves on being a friendly chapter and always welcome new members. Direct any questions about our chapter to our President Peggy Bryan @ DDArtists@aol.com 

You will find much information about the Chapter known as DDA on this website. 

We are proud of our Community Projects, each year we hand paint and decorate a Christmas Tree for the annual Sussex County Hospice Festival of Trees.  The trees are auctioned and all proceeds go to Hospice.  We also hand paint Memory Boxes to provide special boxes for families of infants that pass-away in the hospital -http://www.memoryboxes.org  This year we painted canvas tote bags in August for the "Wounded Warriors", Veterans who have been injured fighting for our country and are in Bethesda Medical Center in Washington DC.  They are to be distributed by a local Veteran Group http://woundedwarriorfund.org/index.htm

We have sent "Care" packages to Iraq and also painted note cards in 2008, and helped one of our members with things for a  needy family at Christmas.

 

We have two seminars a year with known artists teaching. Check our schedule for this year.
