It was hot for the first meeting of the year at Coolinda.  Keen members attended to receive the President's report and vote in the new committee, renew acquaintances and memberships, receive a mystery gift of pastels, enjoy our usual delicious afternoon tea (homemade scones with jam and cream) and watch Glenda Parker transform a piece of paper into a peaceful country scene.  Check out the Dusty Dialogue for details of what's on show at Coolinda and Victor Harbor meetings, and workshops and exhibitions to be held throughout the year.  We are over 130 strong and welcome new members who are passionate, or even mildly curious, about painting with pastels.
