Heading in to Fall and MCS meetings

 Hi MCS Members,

Oh what a luscious fall we are experiencing.  The cool nights and warm days are so appreciated.  They are accompanied by the trees creating the beautiful fall colors we are experiencing.  Be sure to get outdoors whenever you can, it makes living joyous.

At our November 3rd meeting, Rachel Weaver Rivera will be presenting a workshop that has the power to impact our lives in many ways.  It will be time well spent.

It is with a heavy heart I am sharing that our Exhibit Chair, Chris Jacobson unexpectedly passed away on October 21st.  Chris was an amazing artist in all media, always excited to try something new.  With her generous spirit she shared her wonderful talents including providing workshops for us at MCS.  She was so full of life and love, she brought light when she would enter a room.  Her delightful sense of humor and laugh were infectious.  Chris will be missed so much.  Memorial information is not available at this time.

Take care,

Nancy Castner
