News from the May meeing

We had a great meeting on Thursday night !  It was amazing what people could wrap in a ball of yarn and the creative ways they were displayed and presented!  Such fun.  We had a good turn out but missed some of the regulars who could not attend.

I am very excited to announce tonight that we have a new meeting place.  MiMi's Café on Hwy 114 (in front of Target) in Grapevine has agreed to let us  use their room for the guild.  This room is quiet, spacious and well lit.  We are going to try it with our summer knit-ins and then schedule it in September.  I am confident it will meet our needs.

We are set with our officers:  Dixie Butler -- President; Kerry Buescher -- Vice President; Edee Buglione -- Treasurer; and Toni Broadwater -- Secretary.  We now have a membership committee that will assist with some administrative duties:  Membership -- Gloria Knight and Toni Tharp.  Julia Ford has agreed to researching PayPal or Square to give the guild the ability to accept credit cards when members are paying their dues and registering for Knitapalooza.

Everyone at the meeting was in agreement we should do more charitable knitting for the community.  If you are interested in starting before September check out the patterns under files on our Yahoo page.

Summer knitting will be on our regular night and time, at MiMi's Café with no program, no business, just knitting and sharing.  I hope you'll be able to join us!

Happy Knitting and I'll see you in June!
