December meeting: Christmas Coffee.

Join us Thursday, December 11 for our holiday meeting at the home of Lauren Harkins Wiuffs' at
5016 Lynbar. The meeting starts at 7p and although we have done an ornament exchange in the past, we will NOT be doing that this year. Just bring yourself and some holiday cheer. We will also have your pottery ready for pick up.

This will be our last meeting till February. We will have Progressive Dinner in January; invites to follow.

November meeting: Paint a Piece.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, Nov. 18th at 7p. PLEASE NOTE THE LOCATION HAS CHANGED to Stephanie Hubbard's house at 92 East Charlotte Circle. We switched locations so we could paint inside, due to weather. Did you not pay or not want to paint? No problem; we still want you to come and chat.

October meeting: Tom Pellet, master gardener.

Our next meeting will be next Tuesday Oct. 21st. It is at Morgan Westbrook's house at 5095 Norich. Katie Redeker is the cohostess. Please note that this is a location change!

Tom Pellet, master gardener, will be speaking. He was very informative last year, and has asked that we prepare some questions ahead of time. Please post your questions in the comments below or email them to Suzanne Houlden at shoulden@comcast.net by Monday.

Also, if you plan on participating in the November "Paint a Piece" meeting, please remember to bring your check to the next meeting. You must pay for your pottery by Oct. 21 in order to guarantee that it will be available.

October is your last meeting to pay your dues and be in the directory. Dues remain at $25 per year. Bring your checkbook!

And you can always bring your St. Jude pop-tops and items for the Memphis Union Mission to any monthly meeting.

November 18: Paint a Piece.

Our November meeting features "paint your own pottery", but you need to order your piece by the October 21 meeting. Please see the above selection (click to make images larger) and make a check payable to Jessica Olson. Bring the check to the next meeting or contact Suzanne Houlden (shoulden@comcast.net) to make other arrangements. If you ordered a piece at the September meeting, please make sure Suzanne gets your check.

Finished pieces will be available about a week after the meeting. Suzanne will pick them up and email everyone who participated so that they may get their pottery.
