BIG NEWS! The Pacific Southwest Region has announced the 2007 Region Seminar is a cruise to Ensenada and Catalina from May 7 through May 11, 2007. The approximate price for an inside cabin is $449 per person and $499 for an outside cabin. Classes will be held from Tuesday through Thursday. Mark your calendars and watch the region website for more information – or check with one of the board members.
Also our region is interested in any salad recipes from chapter members. Please submit any recipes to a board member.
Let’s continue working on our “quilt” ornaments for our big fundraiser at the end of August. And don’t forget – for every finished ornament, your name is entered into an opportunity drawing for what we expect to be a major award of stash enhancement!
Happy Stitching! Karen
Del Mar Craft & Sewing Festival
The Del Mar Craft & Sewing Festival will be held Thursday, May 18, Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. This commercial show is a wonderful opportunity to promote membership in our chapter. The show hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Vendors will offer supplies in Quilting, Sewing, Needle Arts, Beading, Books, and all kinds of crafts. Our local Embroiderers’ Guild and American Needlepoint Guild chapters will have a booth again this year, and we will need approximately 30 demonstrators to man our booth during the three days. For 2 1/2 hours of demonstration time in our booth, you will receive free admission to the show. So sign up to demonstrate and promote our chapter!
Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours to Tamara during the chapter meeting. These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit status. All volunteer hours count, even if for an organization other than EGA. Thanks to everyone !!
