The Rock Painting Club will be selling rocks in the Hall on Friday, September 2nd from 12:30 to 1:30. We understand that many members are unable to drive to get rocks so we are selling them at cost. Rocks will be $1 each. Please try to bring exact change. There will be a limit of 5 rocks per person at this time so we will have enough rocks for anyone who wants them. They will be unwashed. - Karren Amos

Note: my original suggestion only listed dates in May 2022. I overlooked the need to extend our meeting dates to the end of the year.
Club meeting dates are:
May 23rd

Aug 1st & 22nd

TO all:
I am trying to see if there's any interest in ROCK PAINTING at Sunshine! It would be a good hobby during very hot periods of time. You do not have to have any previous rock painting, or any painting talent at all.
Have you noticed painted rocks by the mailbox entry? I left them for anyone that would want them. They are always gone the next time I go check our mail, and leave another rock. I've received feedback for a couple of the rocks I left there. One is on its' way to WI by a Sunshine resident.
If you are interested, please let me know by contacting me per my information below.
Depending on interest, or not, I will be providing further details on how this would work. Best days, times, etc. Those that are interested could go to FB Harlingen Rocks to get a glimpse of "painted rocks"! Anyone could enjoy this activity with no previous painting or art experience.
Karren Amos ph 309-781-3479 email karrenaamos@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
