July Schedule 2014
June 30- No Schedule
Message from Poster:
There was a great turn out at
Matanzas Creek winery on Monday. We were
able to get our paintings in before they start cutting the lavender on June
30. I received a lot of thanks for
taking on this job. People seemed happy
to have MMP back.
I want the MMP to continue and am
willing to do everything I can to keep it going, but I cannot do everything
myself and have 52 venues a year. This
requires finding spots, scheduling, writing up directions and requirements as
well as posting everything. My hat is off to the people who have done this
before especially Abigail who did this for almost a year by herself. I don’t know how she did it all. Thanks Abi.
I need scouts, people to help me find venues
and get directions together. I will do
what I can, but if I am doing more than just Monday Morning Painters. If I am overwhelmed with everything and
cannot keep up, then MMP may become every other week. To keep this going requires more than one
person, therefore I am asking for help.
Anyone willing to help scout out locations to paint please contact me at
laura@lauraroney.com. I need a team.
