Field Trip

Hi Everyone,
Just a friendly reminder that we have a field trip to Mt Bruce Fiber Fest coming up this Saturday September 29th. Chris Hamel has graciously offered to be the point person on this trip and she will be calling the people who signed up at the last meeting to remind them about times and meeting place etc.
Want to go and didn't sign up? Leave a post in the comment section so we know you are planning on coming; we don't want to leave without you! And then meet Chris at the Anderson Middle School Parking Lot at approx. 8:45am (plans are to leave at 9:00am) Admission is $6.00 plus money for gas to the driver, we can't predict or be responsible for purchases!

Don't forget October's meeting on our new day at our new place: Tuesday October 9th, 7:00pm at the Berkley Community Center. This months meeting will be on seaming so bring some knitted swatches with you to practice on. There will also be information on the field trip to the Washtenaw Fiber Fest in the end of October and the Shop Hop in November.
Whew, lots going on see you there!
