Burrowing Owls are interesting pint sized birds found locally in Cape Coral. The male, often found “Standing Watch” outside the burrow, may be lighter in color than the female. He gets sun-bleached!

Our teacher, Joyce Kostelak, is an interesting person, too! Back in the days of yore before women were much allowed out of the kitchen, she was a newspaper editor and commanded the respect of all who worked under her. She is also a founding member of DASF and has worked steadfastly bringing us to where we are today.

Proving that decorative painting enhances our golden years, Joyce can be found at the SDP National Convention each and every year. Plan to join her in 2015…

Bring a guest to a meeting. We promise to make them welcome!
