Christmas/Holiday Party

Wow, I can’t believe we are in November and getting ready for our Christmas party. We had a GREAT meeting on Thursday night and have some exciting things coming in the New Year.


Our Christmas/Holiday Party had to be moved to a new venue. MiMi’s café was booked for the 13th of December, so we decided on Macaroni Grill. The best part of choosing the Macaroni Grill is that they have ½ price on their wine on Thursday evenings! YIPPEE!

Remember we have a Sneaky Santa game that evening and if you would like to be included bring a $10 minimum, knitting related gift, i.e., yarn, pattern book, tool, etc.

Also we are going to have an additional raffle. The special raffle is for anyone who brings a gift for LaDora Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center. LaDora would like scarves, hats, slippers, lap robes, shawls, and mittens. There are patterns for some items on the Yahoo site under files. Of course, you can use a pattern of your choice for any of these items.  Let's get those needles flying and watch for a GREAT prize in the raffle.

Watch your email because there will be more details to follow for this event and other exciting events to come.
