Happy 2009! The new year has brought several changes. For Muchas Manos, the largest is the city of San Diego closing all of the Community Service Centers which of course includes our meeting space. We have been fortunate as an organization to have such a meeting room available free of charge for so many years.
We do have a new meeting space and new meeting dates for 2009. In addition, the new space will cost the chapter $41.88 per meeting. We will be meeting on the third Monday of the month, instead of the fourth, starting in March. The location will be the Livewell San Diego Center at 4425 Bannock Avenue, formally the Clairemont Friendship Center (name on the side of the building). See details in the newsletter for directions. Many thanks to Margi, for locating a new meeting space.
During our February and March chapters meetings we will be asking for volunteers to host chat-n-stitch in their homes. Also, we would like to offer an outreach at libraries. If you are available to guide other stitchers’ please let one of the chapter officers know. Don’t forget to work on your pieces for the San Diego County Fair. This year’s fair theme is “Music Mania” and runs from June 12th to July 5th. Completed entry forms are due Wednesday, May 6th and pieces must be delivered to the fairgrounds May 27th and May 28th. We have three opportunity prizes available and you get one entry for each “needle arts and sewing” or “beading” category entry to the fair. Remember you do not need to place in the fair, only have an entry to win the opportunity. I look forward to seeing many members participate in the fair competition. Let’s Shine and Stitch!
