Paint Out - LEMONT - February 25
WHO: PAPC - SW: AND --- there are some new members on our email list -- members of the Great Lakes Pastel Society. I am sooo glad that some other Pastellists will be coming out with us in the future. We all know that it may take several email notices before people get up to an outing, but the day will come when they join us. WELCOME MEMBERS OF THE GREAT LAKES PASTEL SOCIETY.
WHERE: Lemont. It would be good to get there a little early and drive around the little town -- and lots of limestone. There are interesting little antique stores, etc in this gentrifying, charming, historic little waterfront town at the head of the I & M Canal. We should meet at 306 Lemont Street, The Lemont Historical Society in the old Stone Church is a good convening place. From there folks can drive/walk to their place of choice. We can decide then where we will re-convene at 12:30 for our Critique.
