It is difficult to believe it was one year ago I sent this month's
President's Message from Scotland! It's amazing how quickly 2008 has flown
by. Our chapter has had a lot of wonderful programs, added new members, and
represented our guild at the Fair and Del Mar Craft Festival. I thank all
our wonderful members who have worked so hard on Chapter activities. Having
served as chapter president for two years, it is bittersweet to write this
last President's Message.
Hurry and finish your last UFO's since this will be the last meeting to
show them off before totals are tallied and prizes awarded at the holiday
party. I'm looking forward to the great food and the wild antics of our gift
exchange. It is definitely an evening full of good food, good friends, and
plenty of fun. You will definitely want to be there. There's more
information on the party in the box at the end of this page, and directions
are on page 6 of this newsletter, or check our Yahoo group.
Looking ahead to 2009, please remember the Pacific Southwestern Region's
Pampered Stitchers Seminar. June 26, 27, and 28, we will get together for a
relaxing stress-free weekend of stitching, at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel
in Tempe, Arizona. You will have your choice of six classes, all of which
are small projects. One of the best features of this weekend will be that
breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack are all
included in the cost of the seminar! Another really attractive feature is
that your early registration, sent by December 31, will include a gift of 25
tickets for opportunity drawings. We’ll have a Seminar Booklet at the
November meeting and will let you know where you can download a registration
form.
One last thank you to the great Board for their hard work this year, and
to all the members who shared so generously. I hope you all have reasons to
be truly thankful this year – and plenty of time to stitch!
Ina
