It is difficult to believe that this year is almost over! Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were holding elections and planning the holiday party? It has been a great year of some wonderful programs and bonding with the great women of this chapter and its board. I can’t tell you how much fun we have had at board meetings this year, even the one that we spent updating the bylaws! We still need a few good volunteers to join next year’s board, so it is not too late to be a part of the fun for 2008. I do hope if one of the board members approaches you and asks you to volunteer, you will say, “Yes!” I can assure you from personal experience, you won’t regret it.
Even though the year is almost over, there are still some exciting events planned. Sandy H. will help us finish holiday ornaments this month, and in November we will have a Gallery Night. I think I have everything worked out to have a couple of handsome young waiters to fill glasses of sparkling cider for us as we circulate among the pieces and make our choices. The other important reason to be there is to make you voice heard as we hold our election of officers for next year.
Finally, mark your calendars for our Holiday Party on Monday, December 3. It will be our usual fantastic evening filled with food, friendship and plenty of surprises.
May your stitches be many – your frogs be few. Ina

- In October, Sandy H. will show us more of her professional techniques for finishing fabulous ornaments on a round button form. The satin stitch/ hardanger designs that Karen K. distributed a few months ago are designed to fit the 2 3/4″ diameter button forms. Or bring any other small stitched piece of that size.
- November is Gallery & Election night! Bring one of more of your favorite pieces for consideration to be our chapter’s contribution for the Region’s Exhibit at EGA’s Margaret Parshall Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky. The choice will be made by all members who are present – so be sure to attend this meeting! AND election of the chapter’s officers for 2008.
