President’s Message • Correspondence Course Update • Region Cookbook • Volunteer Service Hours • UFO Updates • Other News
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Our July 4th potluck was a great day filled with stitching and socializing. I wish every day could be the same.
Great news from the City: The Clairemont Community Room is to remain open! We are grateful to have such a wonderful meeting space.
Don’t forget to take a look at the magnets our chapter has for sale. We have two versions: one-inch diameter decorated disks with ribbons attaching the set, for $6 a pair, and the super powerful mini magnets for $3 a set.
Remember that Board Meetings are open to all members. Our next Board Meeting is Tuesday, August 9. Please join us at 7:00 p.m. at Angelina’s home.
Happy Stitching!
Karen
Group Correspondence Course Update
The Stained Glass Pillow Group Correspondence Course has begun! To see a picture of the piece and a description of the course, check it out online.
As usual, some stitchers are setting a record pace, and others are getting a slower start. Virginia has decided to stitch the entire piece in #3 perle cottons for better coverage; she has also found a few misprints in the instructions. See her for details! And the color combinations we have chosen will make our completed projects very beautiful.
The Pacific Southwest Region wants your recipes to compile into a Region Cookbook, to be used as a Region Fund Raiser. Specifically, salads, all kinds of salads. Cold salads, hot salads, main course salads, and dessert salads.
Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours 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 !!
