DOWN THE ar an Wit ‘ Painting "en plein air" has been added to the accomplishments ofa significant number of Members ofthe Penage Road W| (North Central Area). On a beautiful June day, the ladies arrived in Killarney, Ontario at the studio of artist Pierre A.J. Sabourin (Red Rock 7.: Sunset Studio) and began an enjoyable and enlightening three hours of painting and instruction in painting in the outdoors. The scene overlooked Killarney Bay, which more than one of the Group of Seven also painted! Each Member produced a painting and the teacher/artist was able to find positive aspects in even/one’s work! While some ladies muttered about not being related to Grandma Moses, others obviously have some real talent. After such intense artistic endeavour, the group refueled with the world famous fish and chips from Herbert’s Fishen/ on the docks in Killarney. They ambled about the town not wanting to leave but did finally head home with talk of going for painting lesson #2 next year. Pictured: What a scene! The Members ofPenage Road Wl stand in front of the beautiful view which they captured in their paintings.

The guest speaker was Kristine Soufian who has volunteered forthe past 5 summers teaching ESL in Ethiopia. Byteaching ESLto Ethiopian children, she offers them hope for a better tomorrow through education. Kristine’s topic was entitled "Something Good in Every Day." She shared her philosophy that "Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day." The audience left the presentation knowing that we do not necessarily have to travel halfway around the world to do "something good in every day." "Something good" can be as simple as a smile or nod to a stranger passing by or lending a helping hand to someone in need.
