December 9th Meeting

This month's meeting is our social Charity Knit Night and book discussion. One of our members generously donated 10 2011 knit/crochet calenders as door prizes. Everyone who comes will put their names into a hat and have a chance to win a calenders.


Gloria sends this message to all who participated in the Festival of Trees:

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our tree. Although we did not win an award the Guild was given a beautiful plaque of appreciation. Our tree was auctioned off on Sunday to a resident of Westbury for an undisclosed amount. A representative of UCP would not reveal the amount nor the name of the resident but the tree was auctioned off for more than $250.
I have received great feedback from many of our members who enjoyed working on this project. We have net year to participate, so stay tuned for more information in the months to come.
Happy Holidays!
Gloria Cannon/Recording Secretary.
