Karla McGrail, a founding chapter member and Director at Large, will guide us through the process of designing and painting our own yard signs.

• A variety of acrylic paints, paint markers, and brushes (you are also welcome to bring your own)
• A selection of stencils
• Hopefully, a "Wild Ones" logo adhesive and/or stencil, and possibly a QR code to our website 
• A take-home jar of paint-on varnish to seal it after it dries
• Miscellaneous supplies to make things work smoothly and cleanly

You need to bring/have:

• Your best creative fun self
• Some cute and/or informative sign sayings or ideas that you might be willing to share
