Sorry
I'm not very quick to respond to your thoughts about other Christmas party
ideas other than the small watercolor exchange. I've not been involved
nearly as long as many of the folks so there was probably a lot of
thought put into deciding to exchange little paintings among ourselves.
Ive just thought it an unusual tradition. I've thought a few times that
as an art organization it might be fun and thoughtful to do something for
others. One thing that came to mind would be that since we are an art group,
maybe donating art supplies and materials to a kids group that works with
kids/families that have very little would be appreciated. Such as at
community centers, after school programs. Salvation Army, women's shelter-YWCA
etc.
I'm
probably not someone who knows much about local non-profit organizations here
---- but maybe someone else has a thought. Then bring any/all new art
materials, unwrapped to party and deliver to a group someone has connected
with so they would know we are doing it.
Just
a thought, I'm sure there are many other worthwhile ideas, probably even
better ones. Maybe its too short a time to do this year, maybe think
ahead to next year.

Karla here: I think that in addition to art supplies for kids and adults, it might be a grand scheme to include some instruction at the women's shelter. We know how healing and peaceful painting can be. I'd be happy to help with this.
