We have ended 2005 and it was a full year. Special thanks to all, for the work on the White Elephant Sales in January and May, the Sewing & Craft Fair and San Diego Fair volunteers, the Pacific Southwest Region Meeting in June, the Stained Glass Pillow GCC, stitched bookmarks, potlucks throughout the year, Hurricane Katrina support, and the Carmel Valley Library display. Also, thank you to Ina Gibson for allowing us to celebrate our holiday party in your home. It was a special and delightful evening.
And our sincere appreciation to the teachers, designers, volunteers and stitchers that helped us have such a full and fun 2005.
We look forward to all the wonderful programs planned for 2006 by Karen Herndon and Tamara Willis. Be sure to read your newsletters for more details.
Mark your calendars – on February 20, we will have a FINAL Clearance Sale from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Clairemont Community Room. All items will be ten cents – one thin dime – for everything: books, kits, needlework charts, frames, threads, and much more. Come and get some great bargains!
Happy Stitching! Karen
