Hi MCS Members:
Hope you all are well and having great Holiday celebrations. Soon we will be ringing in the new year. Can you believe it will be 2022? A new year and new beginnings for our Midwest Collage Society. With the new year, I like to write a list of goals for the year. It starts with reviewing last year's goals to see what is still outstanding and evaluating if that is something to carry over for next year. It's fun to see what is checked off and if I want to reinstate that goal for the next year too. Items like eating healthy. exercise for health and energy, do more art, and improving computer skills will definitely carry over. Unfortunately so will finding new MCS Exhibit and Program Chairs. If you are willing, please contact any MCS Board Member.
MCS does not meet in January so don't show up at the Darien Police Department.
In February we will have a Work Day from 9am-2:30 pm. Bring any project you want to begin or are working on and if you are having issues with it bring it to get suggestions, opinions, solutions, etc. or maybe you just want the camaraderie of MCS members. A day to create and perhaps get ideas. If you are planning to be there for the day, bring a lunch and you will need to register for the meeting by emailing Cherie Denton at cherayden@yahoo.com with the SUBJECT: MCS February 6 Meeting.
We will be exhibiting at the Downers Grove Library in April 2022. "Awakening" is the theme. This topic allows for a broad range of interpretation. Get those creative juices flowing and have fun.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! Now get out there and create...it keeps you healthy in mind and spirit.

President
