Anyone wanting to show up for a Dutch Treat Dinner before hand (Somewhere along the waterfront) can show up at 5 pm. We will meet in the parking lot at the end of the street where the Irish Pub on Water and Church Street is located and decide from there where to eat,

If you don’t want to come for dinner come  around 7pm.

Be sure to bring your small dollar store book lights to light your panel and palette. Head/hat lamps would work great. Bug spray will probably be a MUST. Also, load your palettes before you come so you will already know what colors you will be using. Premixing your colors would also be helpful.
