I am happy to be President of our chapter for another year! With so many interesting programs and plans, it should be a very exciting year.
Karen Krampe has worked diligently to plan programs for this year. We’ll learn color theory, new stitching techniques in goldwork, and get some guidance on organizing our stashes. .
It is not too late to register for the Golden Gala Seminar in Louisville, Kentucky from August 31 through September 5. This celebration of 50 years of EGA history will be a very special National Seminar.
While it is too bad our Chargers won’t be playing in the Super Bowl on February 3, we should be able to get a lot accomplished on Super Bowl Sunday, on our Helen’s Star workshop projects from the previous day. I hope to see you all at the workshop. Parking is limited – see if you can ride-share with others.
May your stitches be many – your frogs be few.

Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours on our sheet at chapter meetings. These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit status. Thanks to everyone !!
We’ve made some changes to the UFO program for this year. Some of the points values have increased, and Fair entries are now included with Seminar/ANG Projects. To refresh our memories and for our new members –a UFO is any item with at least one stitch taken that is not completed and ready for display. Also, UFO’s include items you have completely stitched that are not yet finished into a pillow, ornament, or framed as a picture.
There are lots of other fun UFO activities planned for this year, so please participate!
