Treasurer’s Report: We have $1,467.00 in our bank account.

Arley Berryhill’s class:

Tulakogee Lodge was cancelled, as there was no guarantee that all rooms would be on the first floor. We will try to stay there at a later date. Laurie has reserved the Maple room at Hardesty library for the two days of Arley’s class on Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20^th. Arley’s room in Tulsa will cost the club about $200 more. Supply lists will be sent to everyone who has fully paid for the class. Arley is sending the pattern to Laurie for distribution to all class members. There is pre-work for the class.  The cost of this class is $100.00.

Hardesty Library display will be in April featuring our art challenge dolls. Bring them to the March 2 Saturday meeting at the library. You still have time to work on them before April. Everyone bring your wonderful art doll challenge doll to the library on April 1. Our two mothers and 7 children love our displays at the library. They are interested in making dolls so Laurie invited them to come to our meeting.

Our next Saturday day meeting will be June 1 at Connie’s house. We will pay our dues, and elect officers.  Bring a potluck finger food dish to share. Our potluck will start at 12 noon. We will also have a fabric and embellishment swap so bring lots of goodies from your stash! This should be a lot of fun. Thanks, Connie, for the great idea!

Laurie will post a list of people, who have volunteered to furnish door prizes for the months ahead, on our blogspot. Please check it our so you will know which month you have signed up for.

Magical Art Doll Conference, October 10 – 13, 2013:

New information has been listed about classes and teachers on the MAD blogspot. Our teachers are Barbara Schoenoff, Jessica Alcosta Hamilton, and Linda Misa. Each teacher will teach a 2-day and 1 day class.  Go to http://www.magicalartdolls.blogspot.com/ to check out their classes.  The cost of the conference is $300, which includes the Thursday night "Meet and Greet" with finger food, and the banquet on Sunday night. Salesroom tables cost $15 for a 6-foot table in the sales room. The club will be selling pin dolls in the sales room. The silent auction proceeds will be donated to the Little LightHouse in Tulsa, which is a local charity, which helps children with special needs. The cost of the Wyndham hotel is $79 a night for a room. The Wyndham has recently been remodeled and is a beautiful hotel with all the amenities.

We will be constructing table favors for our March project. Members will need to bring card stock and scissors.

The door prize was made by Pam and was won by Jack. Pam made a wonderful Valentine doll sitting on a heart.

We had wonderful show and tell, and our guests really enjoyed seeing the dolls.  Go to the our blogspot to see pictures (link below)

The program was presented by Jayne. She showed various methods and materials to make hair and wigs for dolls.

We enjoyed having our young guests at the meeting. Barbara K and Shari brought fabrics and embellishments to give away, and the children were excited to choose their own. We hope they come back again soon.
