President’s Message
Ladies, as I type this message, I am struck anew at the way we pulled
together, got a project completed and EVEN kept it a secret. For those of you
that missed the April meeting, we presented the Welcome Baby project to Karen
Krampe and her daughter Michelle. We had 15 stitchers and 4 of us that brought
it to completion. Karen has indicated how pleased and touched she is. The wall
hanging is now hung above Michelle's bed. Thank you again for all of your work
on this. GREAT JOB!
The Craft and Sewing Fair was a success. Thanks to everyone who spent time
at the booth. We have made several good contacts. Now on to the Del Mar Fair.
Do you have time to volunteer?
We do need everyone to promote our day with Jay Patterson of Rainbow
Gallery. We have a lot to gain, but we do need your help. Please pick up
flyers at our next meeting (one is included in this newsletter) and encourage
your friends to join us on July 17 to make this a success. Those I spoke to at
the Craft and Sewing Fair were impressed that we had a workshop, complete with
threads, and no take home project. So, again, I encourage you to spread the
word and get your stitching friends and family to come out and join us.

Service Hours
Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours to Ina Gibson, our Regional
Rep. These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit status. All
volunteer hours count, even if for an organization other than EGA. Muchas
Manos needs volunteers for the Del Mar Fair and the Craft and Sewing Festival.
We also need LOTS of help for our July 17th Rainbow Gallery Seminar
fundraiser.
Bookmark Update
We have stitched 114 bookmarks for our Community Outreach Program. We only
need 36 more Bookmarks to reach our goal of 150!! If everybody stitches up one
or two more bookmarks, we will surely be at our goal in time for the Summer
Reading program!
