President’s Message • Volunteer Service Hours • UFO Updates • Other News
This month’s message is coming to you from cold and wet West Lafayette, Indiana. It is that time of year again: the season of the college visitation. This time it’s with Ian and it’s just one school. The best part is the three hours I had on the plane to work on Helen’s Star. I want to thank Karen Krampe for organizing such a wonderful workshop in honor of Helen Cademy, long time member of Muchas Manos. Margaret Bendig designed a wonderful project in Helen’s honor and taught a wonderful workshop for us last month. Helen herself would have been very pleased.
Thank you also to all those members who assisted in the workshop — Karen and I both feel very grateful that we have members who are so supportive and ready to lend a hand any time there is a need. I hope all of you who attended the workshop are having as much fun working on the piece as I am.
We have a great variety of programs coming up, including Margaret’s beautiful Golden Pomegranate. Combining gold work and needle-painting in a beautiful design, we have a wonderful opportunity to stitch this piece which has been accepted for publication by “Inspirations”. How exciting is that?!
We have a great year ahead – you won’t want to miss a stitch.
