Hope everyone is doing okay after the last few weeks following the flooding. We are going to have a CFAL meeting on September 18 at 1pm at the CoOp Bookstore in Baton Rouge. Please bring anything that you want to share with group. If you took the Mary Hettsmanberger class please bring what you worked on in class and anything you finished.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

estate sale for Penny Nichols

from Jane Olson Phillips: the estate sale for Penny Nichols is Friday and Saturday (August 26 and 27). I have no idea what there will be for sale, but since she was into fabrics and painting, there might be things CFAL members would like. It is in Magnolia Woods, next to Kenilworth. Information should be in the newspaper.

Message from Bebe, meeting cancelled

Hello, I know communication is down in a lot of places. If you can let us know how you are doing? Please let us know if you need help. Praying for all.

Denham Springs is flooded as you know. Mary Felder had to evacuate. Please pray for her.  I'm sure the Arts Council of Livingston Parish was affected.I think we will have to cancel meeting and regroup when this emergency is over.

Glenda Spikes, I need to contact you or your mother about 10 Years of the Swamp.

Please communicate with me as soon as possible so I can keep track of you all.

Concerned
