President’s Message
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Our July 4th potluck was a
great day filled with stitching and socializing. I wish every day could be
the same.
Great news from the City: The Clairemont Community Room is to remain
open! We are grateful to have such a wonderful meeting space.
Don't forget to take a look at the magnets our chapter has for sale. We
have two versions: one-inch diameter decorated disks with ribbons attaching
the set, for $6 a pair, and the super powerful mini magnets for $3 a set.
Remember that Board Meetings are open to all members. Our next Board
Meeting is Tuesday, August 9. Please join us at 7:00 p.m. at Angelina's
home.
Happy Stitching!

Correspondence Course Update
The Stained Glass Pillow Group Correspondence Course has begun! To
see a picture of the piece and a description of the course,
check it out online.
As usual, some stitchers are setting a record pace, and others are
getting a slower start. Virginia has decided to stitch the entire piece in
#3 perle cottons for better coverage; she has also found a few misprints in
the instructions. See her for details! And the color combinations we have
chosen will make our completed projects very beautiful.
Region Cookbook
The Pacific Southwest Region wants your recipes to compile into a Region
Cookbook, to be used as a Region Fund Raiser. Specifically, salads, all
kinds of salads. Cold salads, hot salads, main course salads, and dessert
salads.
Volunteer
Service Hours
Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours during the chapter meeting. These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit status. All
volunteer hours count, even if for an organization other than EGA.
Thanks to everyone !!
