President’s Message
We unanimously voted during our September meeting approving a $250.00
contribution to Habitat for Humanity for Hurricane Katrina victims. Again,
any items you wish to donate to replace stash and stitching items lost in
the hurricane can be given to a board member. We will send them to the
Tennessee Valley Region before the first of the year. Thanks to all for your
generosity.
November is also the time to vote for the open Board Member positions –
Programs, Membership, and Secretary. If you are not able to attend the
meeting, please complete a ballot. Please join us for the Holiday Party on
Monday, December 5. The party will be a potluck and all are invited. If you
wish to participate in the gift exchange, please bring a wrapped
hand-stitched item or stitching related item valued at $20.00 maximum.
And consider our next Group Correspondence Course – the 17th century
English-Style Sampler by teacher Ilse Altherr. Sign-ups will be taken until
December 15, 2005.
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.
It is really fun to watch the progress of everyone who has been working
on the Stained Glass Pillow project. The color choices really show our
tastes and styles. From one that is a wide variety of colors (it reminds me
of a kaleidoscope) to a southwestern palette, and pastels, reminiscent of
the 70's – they are all turning out beautifully. IF I ever do this project
again (big IF!) I would like to try it in all one color.
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 !!
