Our annual dinner and swap is Tuesday, May 12, from 7 to 9 pm at St. Columban Church. Please sign in when you arrive—if you did not RSVP and pay for dinner ($10) you may do so at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.—use this time to arrive and sign in, socialize and catch up with your friends before the meeting begins at 7 p.m.
We had four newcomers join last month—we have 80 members now! The new members are Merritt C., Marilyn G., Michele D. and Barbara S.—be sure to make them feel welcome. In fact, think about mixing it up a bit and sit with someone you don't know very well this month!
Agenda: Dinner will begin promptly at 7 p.m. The dinner is being catered by Panera and includes a variety of sandwiches, salad, chips, pickles, cookies and cake. A limited selection of soda will be available.
We will have the BSKG logo chairs ready to distribute when you sign in. Chairs were preordered and payment ($25) is due upon delivery. If you missed out on ordering, never fear—you can bid on one in the silent auction!
Following dinner the silent auction (lots of great items!) as well the member swap and sale will begin. Bring your unwanted stash, books and knitting related (or other!) items...be prepared to haggle, beg, bargain and barter! Last year items included colorful weaver warps, handspun yarn, knitting services, books...your unwanted lonely single skein might be just what another member is searching for. I have some good things that I am bringing and can't wait to see what I can trade for with you! The silent auction will end with plenty of time for you to pay for your auction items before the end of the evening.
Happy Birthday to all our May Black Sheep [and there
are a lot]: Barb Boren, Marguerite Winer, Annette Ervin,
Linda Seley, Margie Tate, Sue Carter, Katy Race and Phyllis Evans.
Thanks for the thanks [you know who you are].
Only 11 days until the May dinner/swap! Are you all clearing
out your stash to trade, barter & sell?

Chris has saved the day with more pictures from S3.2!!
Besides the fun S3.2 swap that was the focus of the meeting we had another great round of raffle items. Big thanks to Sharon H., Linda L. and Laurie G. for the donated items. Kelly also brought an item donated by City Knits--what a wonderful surprise! 15 items in all were raffled off, including a special raffle item—a beautiful new Jordan Paige knitting bag donated by Sharon. It's hard to decide if that or the thongs were the best items in the raffle!

Remember, the May meeting is our annual dinner. RSVPs are being taken until Tuesday, April 28. The dinner will be at St. Columban, and is being catered by Panera. $10 per person. Also the May meeting is the swap...bring your unwanted yarn, notions, books...and barter, bargain and be ready to trade. We will also have a few silent auction items that will be up for bidding...you'll want to bring some money for that so you don't miss out.
Tuesday's Sneaky Sheep Swap was beyond wonderful! I wish I could post pictures of all the beautiful items we were treated to, but my camera pooped out. Everything was beautiful... and created so thoughtfully. Colors were selected with care, patterns were examined & tested, thought given to what the recipient likes. It was a special night.
If, for any reason, you didn't RSVP to the May dinner, please let us know right away so you can be included.
