FINAL CHEEKWOOD PAINT OUT FOR 2016!”
Chestnuts,
If, tragically, you missed our first two all member Cheekwood paint outs this year, you won’t want to miss your last chance! Come and paint this Nashville gem, en force with fellow Chestnut members. Carol DeMumbrum and I (New Member Chairs) are pleased to announce that we’ve garnered, wait for it, 20 NEW CHESTNUT MEMBERS to date in 2016! We are hoping to see many new members out in the field. (or in this case well manicured lawns) Those of us who have been Chestnut members for a while remember how truly frightening that “first time out” can be. Let’s show up and do what we can to ease those jitters, help newcomers feel welcome, and prove to them that they made the right decision to become a “NUT”! One last and important lure- Dawn Whitelaw, (another Nashville GEM) will be in attendance, and Carol and I are grateful.
Details below:
