                                                        WEB PAGE:     daagonline.com   

          We want & need a wider representation  of our artists on this site. New venues often  

          want slides. This replaces the need for them. We only want paintings that are 

          unframed and non-shrink-wrapped. Joyce still needs a call prior to the meeting at 

          which we bring our works.

                                                     Shall we KEEP the web site??????

                    

          OPPORTUNITIES:


          If you would like to work with seniors at Park Place Retirement, 111 Emerson, this is

          for you. Most have painting experience- need help with color and composition. Would 

          pass it to the activity director, Peg Garvin at 303-744-8738. Dick Lutz 303-758-5870
