JULY 2024 NEWSLETTER
Dear Friends
Take out your diaries and calendars because this month’s newsletter is choc-a-block with dates, events, a time-sensitive raffle and Art Happenings at my Art Studio 112. Our guest artist is multi-award winning bladesmith Grant Steyn, and the July birthday dedication is a favourite evergreen. I’ve shared my Tribute that I read at John’s memorial service on my MUSINGS page, if you’d like to read it.
Raffle Fundraiser
Win an original watercolour painting of your home (exterior view, or interior view of your favourite room) painted by Maria Kaye. What a precious memory to cherish.
All you have to do is:
Buy a raffle ticket for only R30 a ticket, and
Answer this question: In what month does INKTOBER occur? (Hint: You'll find it on the EVENTS page)
Send your answer via WhatsApp by 19 August. Pay R30 cash or EFT. The more tickets you buy, the better your chances of winning! (All proceeds will go towards paying for more outdoor signage for my Church).
