President’s Message
It is hard to believe the year is almost over. I'd like to thank the
current board and committee members for all their hard work over the past
year.
Please visit our library display during November and December at the
Carmel Valley library located at 3919 Townsgate Drive, San Diego. The
display looks wonderful and a special thanks to Margi and Heather for
setting it up.
Please join us for the Holiday Party Monday, December 5, at Ina Gibson's
home. The party is a potluck and all are invited. If you wish to participate
in the gift exchange, please bring a wrapped hand-stitched item, or a
stitching related item valued at $20.00 maximum. I hope to see everyone
there!
Another reminder of our next Group Correspondence Course – the 17th
century English-Style Sampler by teacher Ilse Altherr. Sign-ups will be
taken until December 15, 2005.
For the New Year celebration, we plan a full afternoon of stitching on
Monday, January 2, 2006, in the Community Room, from noon to 5:00 p.m. Let's
start the year with a great day of stitching – hope to see you there as
well.
Happy Stitching! Karen
Group
Correspondence Course Update
The Stained Glass Pillow Group Correspondence Course continues. To
see a picture of the piece and a description of the course,
check it out online.
As the Stained Glass Pillow Group Correspondence Course continues, we are
preparing for the next Course, the
17th Century English-Style Sampler. The last day to sign up is
December 15. The costs are $29.50 for the text, and the teacher's fee is
currently at $16.25 for the 8 current participants. If more people sign up,
the teacher's fee would be reduced. As is the norm with GCC's, your
materials will be of your own choice and at your own cost. Please contact
Karen Krampe at Nov. 21 Open Stitching or 11-28-05 Meeting to sign up.
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 !!

Other News
- Instead of our regular chapter meeting in December, we will be having
our holiday party on Monday, December 5, 2005. Ina has graciously offered
her home for our annual Holiday Party. Please join in the fun from 6:30 p.m.
Bring a dish to share for dinner – no signups needed. This will be a true
potluck – if we end up with 20 desserts, OK ! All we will eat is dessert!
The festivities will include UFO awards, a drawing for free membership next
year (any member who attended even one meeting could be the lucky winner),
and the always-fun and sometimes-hilarious gift exchange.
- The January program will be a library night.
Members will be able to peruse the Chapter's Library and check out books
they find interesting!
