History of Our Chapter
The
Chapter was conceived by the following: Ann Holt, Shirley Holden, Andrea Laurence, Sher Selner, Diane Cooper (SDP Contact),
and Cathy Folatco. A steering committee also included Janet Smith. The first challenge was to find a meeting place that
would allow painting. The first meeting was held on 9-25-1998 with 25 interested
ladies in attendance at the South Coastal Library in Bethany Beach DE. The steering committee needed to complete all
paper work required and find officers for the year 2000. We were an affiliated chapter of SDP at their convention in
Nashville in May of 2000.
Shirley Holden became the first president, Ann Holt the Newsletter Editor, Sher Selner Treasurer, Andrea Laurence Secretary.
All have moved away but still belong to SDP, and
Ann
Holt is still a member of our Chapter. The Chapter continues to maintain the
high standards these ladies helped establish. Our 10th Anniversary was celebrated with a luncheon in October at
Baywood. Shirley Holden and Ann Holt attended the celebration.
Our
Logo was designed by Ann Holt CDA and the Newsletter Delmarva Painters' Digest was named by Sandy Ryan.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas time
and are now ready to start the new year of meetings and painting fun with the Chapter. Looking back we did have a good year
with two fun seminars for learning, awards for chapter members at the
State Fair and Del-Tech Senior Art Show, painting Memory Boxes and Wounded Warrior Bags, plus decorating a Hospice Tree and Wreath for charity. Besides all of these
we still had time to paint with our teacher members and enjoy the food and camaraderie
of our Christmas Party with ornament exchange and adorable houses.
I want to thank everyone who contributed and helped to make 2011 such a good
year and hope we can continue to have a good,
strong chapter this year. I think you will all enjoy the things we have lined
up to do.
I am looking forward to serving you again this year as President
and we still have the Memory Boxes and Christmas Party that need Committee Chairs so this is your
opportunity to serve
too. Please let me know if you can help.
