President’s Message

Our UFO program is beginning, so start looking for all those hidden treasures to complete. I know my treasure chest is continuing to grow; however, the stitching part may have to wait another year.

March 13th is the Pacific Southwest Region Meeting in Visalia. I will be attending if anyone is interested in going. The Sequoia Chapter is hosting a workshop on March 12, with a pin-keep project entitled "This Too Shall Pass." Check the region's website for more information: www.psrega.org.

As a chapter, we have several areas needing volunteers: Outreach, White Elephant Sale, Region Meeting (June 5), and Group Correspondence Courses. Don't forget the Region Seminar in San Diego is just around the cormer (May 31 through June 4), and volunteering during the seminar is great fun. Please see any of the board members if you would be interested in giving a litle time and effort to our wonderful group.

Thanks for everyone's input!

Karen

Volunteer 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.

Thanks to everyone !!
