**Our guild retreat is set for October.  Details will be announced closer to the event.
**Small groups are a great way to get with others interested in different forms of lettering and design. The group Kimmi is in meets whenever and has done jewelry, painting on glass, sewing, paper mache, and gone on a field trip together.  They include Carole, Deb, Cecelia, Margie, and Cheryl.
The group TJ is in meets every other Thursday and take turns hosting in each home.  They have gone through Betty Edward’s Color book, tried to finish a 6-part sampler, and are thinking of looking at Denis Brown’s Italic video at some point in the future.  This group includes Karen S, Sherry, and Leslie.

Evening Presentation:
**Cecelia presented a variation of an Italic she is very proficient at using a flatter pen angle and steeper slope.  She provided an exemplar along with a few sample of how she’s used it in the past and she walked us through each letter and what to specifically look out for when making it.  Thanks, Cecelia!
