Events through the rest of the year:

November 6th - NO regular meeting

Our meeting location is also used for voting and we are unable to have a regular meeting.
We had discussed meeting at Bernina Connection and they were putting together a presentation for us on thread and needles but at the last meeting only a handful of members indicated they would go so we have cancelled that program and will ask them to come next year.

Our president has arranged a social sew in at the Chandler Police Station Community Room from 5-9:30.  So go and vote and then join up for some talking and time working on projects.

November 20th - EQ7

We have an exciting program from an AQG traveling teacher, Joanne Rice, about EQ7.  This is a software program that allows you to design quilts before cutting the fabric.  It came highly recommended from several members.

December 4th - Holiday party

There are no scheduled meetings for December.  Our holiday party is at Mary's house and she has planned a wonderful night with a vocal concert by a group that brings holiday joy.  There is a $5.00 charge and appetizers and dessert are provided.   Reach out to Jo to reserve your spot.

In addition, we will continue to collect our items for My Sister's Place. Any paper products - paper towels, toilet paper, napkins and even diapers. This is a domestic violence shelter for women in Chandler. They have 14 rooms and house up to 14 women and their children at any time.  Each family only stays 4 months and they get help locating a new place to live.

Other charity news

Joanne had created wonderful boxes for a non-profit that helps homeless with medical, locating jobs, and even finding placed to live.  These boxes provided a start up kit for someone moving into a new location including a plate, silverware, cup, towel, toilet items, and more. These were a big hit and I would like to create more from the donations I have been getting from everyone.  Please let me know if you have access to paper boxes that we could use to create these start up kits - Debbie
