Coming up at the October Meeting

9/28/2015 11:31:00 AM
Join us at the October meeting at Grace Lutheran Church from 7-9.

This month we will:
  • Get a Charity knitting update and have representatives from Broadlawns and Click for Babies join us.
  • See what projects have been created from the June Picnic Brown Bags. Remember this was where you donated 3 skeins of yarn in a brown bag and got 3 new skeins to make a project with. We are all eager to see what has been created!

Please note that if you are on the Christmas Party committee, there will be a meeting at 6 p.m. to work on this event. 

I hope you all had fun and learned lots at the Fall Class Day. Maybe we can make this an annual event!
