The Monday Morning Painters Schedule

Join us every Monday. All media welcome.
Share ideas, have fun!


Reminder: we often are invited on private property and need to respect the requests of the owners; please be polite at all times. Thank you.

A note to all the MMP's...
"Okay it's official, I am burned out for scheduling, and further, feel it would benefit the group to rotate this service so I don't dominate with my favorites.  I am willing to help the new person get started, turn over documents, hard copy archives I was given, etc. 
Thanks very much, Marcy" marcy.nrgy@sbcglobal.net
