OPA General Meeting

Last Friday was a big night for OPA members. It was an evening to take care of business and catch up with members. Friday was dedicated to good food and for all OPA members that are participating in the upcoming Ceramic Showcase, it was the evening to pick your booth. First up, Janet Buskirk, followed by Ellen Currans and the rest of the membership. While everyone was waiting to choose, it was time to enjoy an amazing spread of food and chat, meet new members and enjoy everyone's company. It is an evening where we all get a chance to socialize, catch up with friends and meet members that many only know by name or the work that they do. New Member-at-Large, Tamara Bryan has taken on the role of OPA Photographer, enjoy the images that she captured during the evening.

Showcase Cookbook Cookout

Over the weekend, the Cookbook Crew assembled at Jen Tonneson's floating home to cook, bake and have a girls weekend/slumber party. And cook and bake we did. Jenny Lakeman, Jen Tonneson, Brenda Scott, Debi Nelson, Stephanie Burton, Deborah Moen, Reena & DoDo Dodeja and Kris Paul and our wonderful photographer David Lutz all pitched in and got the job done. An amazing collection of OPA members dishes and pots, props and flowers were scattered throughout the house and everyone enjoyed finding just the right pieces to create beautiful shots for the cookbook. Hats off to all that contributed! This is going to be a must-have cookbook.
