President’s Message
I am happy to be President of our chapter for another year! With so many
interesting programs and plans, it should be a very exciting year.
Karen Krampe has worked diligently to plan programs for this year. We'll
learn color theory, new stitching techniques in goldwork, and get some
guidance on organizing our stashes. .
It is not too late to register for the Golden Gala Seminar in Louisville,
Kentucky from August 31 through September 5. This celebration of 50 years of
EGA history will be a very special National Seminar.
While it is too bad our Chargers won't be playing in the Super Bowl on
February 3, we should be able to get a lot accomplished on Super Bowl
Sunday, on our Helen's Star workshop projects from the previous day. I hope
to see you all at the workshop. Parking is limited – see if you can
ride-share with others.
May your stitches be many – your frogs be few.

Volunteer Service
Hours
Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours on our sheet at chapter
meetings. These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit
status. Thanks to
everyone !!
UFO Updates
We've made some changes to the UFO program for this year. Some of the
points values have increased, and Fair entries are now included with
Seminar/ANG Projects. To refresh our memories and for our new members –a UFO
is any item with at least one stitch taken that is not completed and ready
for display. Also, UFO's include items you have completely stitched that are
not yet finished into a pillow, ornament, or framed as a picture.
There are lots of other fun UFO activities planned for this year, so
please participate!
