Thank you Gay Ann for sharing your wonderful handkerchiefs and educating us of the stitching, time period and finding such treasures. It is amazing the intricate work that is put into the handkerchiefs.
At the region meeting there was a wonderful display of the soldier kissing pillows presented to a military unit. The pillows are appreciated so much by those who receive them that it warms everyone’s heart. Several chapters, including Baldy View, Inland Empire, San Bernardino ANG, Azure Verde are pooling together to get 1800 pillows by July for Rich Corez’s unit (Pat Corez’s son). Azure Verde pledged 100 pillows from a 70 member base and at the region meeting showed up with a HUGE bag of 384 pillows, that is a little over 5 pillows per member. We need Muchas Manos help with this deserving outreach project. The outreach is ongoing and Pat Corez sent me an email that another 200 is needed by August for Fort Irwin. Please keep a kit in your car, your purse, anywhere you have a few spare minutes to stitch. Let’s try to beat Azure Verde’s pledge.
Starting July 1st our meeting room rental is increasing to $55 per meeting. The board did vote to approve the current meeting location through November of 2009. If anyone is interested or is aware of an alternative meeting space, please see one of the board members so we can establish a committee.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 6th you don’t want to miss the Stash Stimulus Sale.
Happy Stitching to all.
