THE NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA SPINNERS AND WEAVERS GUILDHub Editor: Bonnie Crytzer at stumphillacres@zoominternet.netSaturday, August 3, 2008, from 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m.
|
July ProgramThe July meeting will be at Kindred Spirits. The Fourth of July weekend may cause a problem so we decided at our April meeting to have a knit get together at Sue's shop. Sue's shop is in the downtown area of Franklin. August ProgramThe August meeting will be a picnic at Sue and Larry Spencer's cottage in the woods. Please bring a covered dish to share with everyone. If you would like to spin, bring your wheel and join in the fun. Sue has a pond if you would like to swim. It is always a fun-filled day. Bring your family and friends. Officers will meet at 9:30am for business meeting and to organize. The program following this meeting will be “A Surprise”. DIRECTIONS: Contact Sue at forsuespencer@hotmail.com Chinese Auction at the Picnic! Clean out your stash and bring your unwanted treasures to the picnic at Sue Spencer’s house. To raise money to go towards workshops, etc, we are planning on having a Chinese auction. Five tickets for a dollar then put your tickets in the cup near the stuff that you want to win. Check out your stuff, see what you can part with, and then take a chance to win something to fill that empty space. It should be a lot of fun! Questions? Contact Bonnie Crytzer at stumphillacres@zoominternet.com |

Bonnie provided information about a Titusville program and about an appeal to raise funds for Navajo who raise Churro sheep; she suggested that the sheep project might be a good choice for our Christmas charity.
Joanna
welcomed new guest Cheryl Sluder. Joanna then announced the candidates
for elected Guild offices: President, Karen Fry; Program Chair, Bonnie
Crytzer; Treasurer, Bonnie Orr; Secretary, Ann Sheffield. The slate was

remained ambivalent about the idea at the close of the meeting. Joanna

unusual breeds. She
also brought up the idea of collaborating with other guilds to add
different fiber animals (alpaca, rabbits, etc.) at the annual Wool
Growers event (the Wool Growers themselves are restricted to sheep
according to their charter). Billie Bookamer is pursuing a possible
collaboration. Bonnie added that she will be getting a lamb soon from
her usual Ohio breeder and that anyone interested in one of his fleeces
should talk to her.
Joanna
reminded everyone that our July “off-meeting” on July 5 will be at
Kindred Spirits Yarn Studio in Franklin. The August meeting will be a
pot-luck picnic at Sue Spencer’s home in The
Woods. Bring finished
bags from the Guild challenge to the August meeting and we will vote on
the winner! We will also have a Chinese auction. Family and friends are
welcome at the picnic.

Announcements LOOKING BACK - LOOKING FORWARDCan you believe it - that two years have whizzed by since I took my turn as your president? I can only say a loud "thank you" to all of you for your spirit and cooperation - and for putting up with my wooden gavel! I think we have had two good years, mainly because of the work of others -- all the other officers and all the members who are always ready to lend a hand. Now we look forward to the next two years with the new officers you have chosen. All I needed to do was tell you what offices needed to be filled, and candidates came right forward to volunteer. You made my job very easy. Our new officers will be facing some challenges, not only in keeping all our programs healthy, but we seem to be facing the problem of a home for our meetings - again! So I know we will all be ready to go on supporting our guild and our officers. We've found solutions to problems before and can do it again. Meanwhile let's all look forward to our August meeting at The Woods. I will hand over my dreaded gavel to Karen, and we can begin to brainstorm ideas for our future meeting place. The Woods is always a great experience. I'll see you all in August I wasn't sure when the next newsletter comes out, but will go ahead and let you know about a couple events in Meadville that would like to have spinners spin. The first is "Rural Heritage Day" August 9 at the Baldwin Reynolds House for a special event and the other is for the Crawford County Fair, at the Home Economics Bldg. on Tues afternoon, August 19, Thanks, Elaine It has been my pleasure being your Hub Editor for the past five years. Thank you for all the support necessary to publish an informative newsletter. My final words of wisdom follow: To the powerful women in my life - Keep the faith!!! Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says... 'Oh sh#*...she's awake!! Cheers, Bonnie and the Hub Staff |
