We begin the New Year activities with the Winter Picnic Potluck at Helen Howard’s new home on Riverview Drive. A special invitation goes out to all new & old members that have joined and rejoined the guild. This is a great opportunity to meet the new members, catch up on everyone’s activities, projects and New Year resolutions like ‘more weaving & spinning or finishing all UFO projects’. Bring a potluck dish to share and if you want to participate in the WHITE ELEPHANT exchange, bring a recycle item, book, yarn project, anything in brown or white bag. We are always surprised.
