September and October Meeting Schedule.

1.  SEPTEMBER MEETING
As most of you know, we do not have a September meeting at the Darien Municipal Center in September due to two factors:  the first weekend is usually Labor Day weekend, and the second weekend the room is in use by the police for Darien Fest.  So we generally plan a field trip for the members.  This year, the field trip is on Sunday, September 9, at the home of Mary Warner.  Details about the field trip are listed below:

MCS Field Trip for September:  Sunday, September 9th from 1:00-3:30 pm at Mary Warner's studio.  See what Mary has had going on in her living room, dining room and den for the past 39 years!  There just might be a pile of swap items to grab; Mary never seems to get them over to Darien!  Tables will be cleared so we can sit for some good social time. And if you want to enjoy making a mini-doll project, bring along some permanent markers!

If you care to,  bring munchies to share.  Before or after coming, you might want to stop by Laura's Outdoor Studio Exhibit that runs September 7-9 from 10A-4P each day. She's a straight 7 miles south of Mary's. Address 6718 Dale Road...Darien IL  

Mary's house studio is at 220 E. Highland, Villa Park. That's about 1/2 mile west of Rt 83 (or a few houses east of Summit, which is Cass/Midwest Rd) and 3/4 mile north of Roosevelt Road. Call Mary if you need directions (630-833-0125.)  Please park on Mary's side of the stree.  If you're coming, send Mary an email at m.warner5@sbcglobal.net

2.  MCS RETREAT
There are still several places open for the MCS Retreat being held September 19-23 at Camp Alexander Mack in Indiana.  If you'd like to attend, please contact Tania Blanco ASAP on her cell at 630-464-3749.  If you've expressed interest in the retreat but have not finalized your registration, now is the time!  

3.  OCTOBER MEETING
Our October meeting on Sunday, October 7, will feature Mary Warner teaching a mini-workshop on the use of alcohol inks.  Details, including a supply list, will follow soon.

4.  CALL FOR ART
"Evocative" at Prairie State College in Chicago Heights.  Entry deadline is October 1, show runs January 7-31, 2013.  Find the prospectus at www.prairiestate.edu/artgallery/prospectusandentryform.pdf


5.  ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITY
Lemont Artist Guild is hosting what sounds like a very interesting meeting this month and has invited other art league members to attend.  The info is below.

The September 19 Lemont Artists Guild  will meet at 7 PM at the Lemont Public Library, 50 E. Wend Street.   Renee Tabor, from Metamorphosis, will present “How to Get Motivated,” designed to help motivate you to make art and help rid those blocks that hinder the flow of your creative juices.
Renee Tabor is a native of the Chicago South Suburbs.  She attended Roosevelt University where she studied Musical Theatre and Vocal Performance.  She graduated from Governors State University with a B.A. Liberal Arts focusing in Communications.  Her journey led her to own her own storefront in Tinley Park called ‘Angels Among Us’ where she facilitated many workshops and saw an opportunity to help others in the surrounding communities.  She is now Owner of ‘Metamorphosis,’ a consulting business with the intention of educating and empowering people to transform themselves into being something better than they thought they could be.  Renee’s belief is that everybody has a voice and she enjoys helping them find it.
The public is welcome, a donation for the local food pantry is appreciated.  Free parking.  Refreshments will be served.  For more information call Liz Popp 815-341-1145
