President’s Message
March 12 is the Pacific Southwest Region meeting in Las Vegas. We will
relay any information during the March chapter meeting. The region has a
current fundraiser of Designer Notecards. Please see page 5 of this
newsletter or at the PSR
region website for photos and order information. Notecard Ordering forms
will be available at the Open Stitching afternoon on February 20 and the
chapter meeting on February 27.
Be sure to mark your calendars for upcoming events. May 18 through 20 is
the Sewing and Craft Fair. And the San Diego County Fair is not long after
that, running from June 10 to July 4. As always, Margi Thornburgh works hard
to coordinate members staffing our booth. She will have a sign-up sheet for
volunteers. Please check your schedules and sign up early!
Let's start working on our "quilt" ornaments for our big fundraiser at
the end of August. And don't forget – for every finished ornament, your name
is entered into an opportunity drawing for what we expect to be a major
award of stash enhancement!
Happy Stitching! Karen
Big Sister Program
Remember your first months in Muchas Manos when words like National and
Regional, and abbreviations like UFO and GCC caused bewilderment? Members
talking about their "STASHES" made you wonder just what kind of a drug den
you had wandered into? Wondered if you would ever get a "SABLE"? We are
asking established members to agree to shepherd new members through their
own first months, and help them maneuver through the confusion. Please
contact Angelina for more information.
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 !!
