President’s Message
Summer moves along into September and hopefully the cooler weather will not
be far behind. Labor Day, September 5, the Community Room will be available
to us all day. Let's have another Free Stitching afternoon – of stitching,
conversation and fun. If you wish, you can bring beverages and munchies to
share. We'll talk about the time to open at the August meeting.
As the year end approaches, we will again have elections. Some of the
board positions will be open. If you would like to participate in the
nominating committee, contact any of the current board members.
Save the date of Monday, December 5, 2005, for our holiday party. Details
of location and time are yet to be finalized, but we always have a good time
with a potluck dinner, awards, and an optional gift exchange. Please plan to
come – the more the merrier at this chapter party !
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. I hear that Virginia has already completed hers! I
can hardly wait to see it, in her multiple color choices. And the color
combinations other members 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 !!
