Community service hosted the March mini-retreat with 13 members participating. 11 tops of various sizes were made and now need finished.  Thank you all for another successful event and fun had by all. 

Be sure to check out the pictures... you will always find the latest in the Members Only section.  Welcome Members

The January CS mini-retreat was sold out and the results are amazing!  Everyone said it was great fun - and here's the proof!

What a great time at the Holiday Party this year!  Thanks to the committee for coming up with such great ideas.  The hats were fabulous!

The Fun with Fiber group will be meeting in the Oakwood Paint Room on Friday -  Dec. 12th from 1 to3:30.  All are welcome!

There will not be a Board of Directors meeting in December.  Enjoy the holidays!

Plans are progressing for our FUN Seasonal Celebration  at The Saguaro Room in Cottonwood (opposite the restaurant).

       JOIN THE FUN AND PARTICIPATE IN THESE CHALLENGES

Plans are made to have a 'FESTIVE HAT' contest (rather than an ugly sweater - but you're welcome to wear one).  We would like members to find a unique hat or add their own creations to a hat they already have  (decorate it with fabric scraps or embellishments) or make your own hat.  We will be voting on the most creative hat and awarding prizes.

We would like everyone to bring an exchange gift ($15.00 value.) that is wrapped special - perhaps with fabric or in a unique box or wrapped in a creative way (idea = made to look like a Gingerbread House).

All members are invited so please sign-up and pay for your lunch here,  Lunch costs $22.00 which includes a dessert and also tax and tip!

Sign up here!  Holiday Luncheon
