Between Tole Friends' quarterly in-depth lessons, painting projects and articles, registered members have access to a new painting lesson/painting project & article every month. Registered members may download one of each and every painting lesson/project or article for personal use, but they are not to be shared with others for any reason. It is always exciting for new members to know "what will I get" and our EFC & Publishing Committee has decided to let everyone know what is available and what will shortly be available. Our Industry   Publishing Painting Books by Phyllis Tilford, CDA (Member access NOT required) x Painting Techniques     Product Review Simplist x Celebrate St. Nick the new book by DAC (Member access NOT required) x Meet Della Wetterman x True Color System x Fast & Easy Painting Projects   Staying Warm by Deb Clarke x Intermediate Painting Projects   Cookatoe by Willow Wolfe. x Quarterly in-depth Lessons   Shaded Wash Fruit by Margot Clark Long Pine Covered Bridge by Annette Dozier Coming in April 2009   Above list will be constantly updated

Nothing of this could have been achieved without the constant help from board and committee members. Our dedicated helpers are The Board: Karen Chase; Elaine Russel, CDA; Judith Rickett; María Marta Rossi The Education / Publication Committee: Phyllis Tilford, CDA (chair); Jayne Feussner; Melinda Barnes, Sue Mitchell and Shelley Lanthier. Without their unselfish help and the support of all members in times of difficulties, we would not be able to be where we are and share the programs.

"My Tolefriends & Me" A Tribute---Jan. 2003 Brenda S. Rickman
****
In written words on a screen of white
The letters dance, in through the night
With the point and click of our little mouse
We bring the world to our own little house

Of ups and downs we write about
Sometimes we laugh, at times we shout
We bare our pain, our souls are seen
We share our joys and in betweens

Of who we study and are learning from
Of a problem painting, to Tolefriends we come
With life and woes, both big and small
With trust and faith, we share it all

We ask our friends a question one
Fast as a flash, the answers come
Cries of help to fix that little frustrating ding
Solutions fly in, all is well with everything

With love and care the answers many
What cost you ask, None, not any!
A simple thank you is all they ask
A promise to share is our only task

Give of yourself what they are giving
Spread the wonder and the joy of living
Tell all you know to come and see
All the love there is with ...... My Tolefriends and Me!
