October Meeting Recap

Here are some important notices from our October meeting.

SEND IN CHARITY BLOCKS

The charity committee needs any outstanding star blocks to be finished up and sent in. (Packets were distributed at the September meeting.) Please mail them to Susie by November 1.

Sending the blocks in promptly will ensure we have them in time for ...

THE CHARITY SEW-IN

On November 3, people will be gathering at Susie's to sew the blocks together. If there's work to do after November 3, a second sew-in will happen on November 8, also at Susie's. To sign up for either date, please contact her at sboots812 (at) hotmail (dot) com.
