CRVC
Fund-Raising
For many years CRVC had
a library of needlework books. Several years ago, the decision was
made to dissolve the library and sell off the books.
The remaining books from
the CRVC library, as well as other books and needlepoint canvases that have
been donated to the chapter, are now available for purchase. The
available
items can be seen/ordered as listed below.
The proceeds from the sale
of these items will come to CRVC with the funds going into the education
fund. You can make a purchase at a really good price and benefit the
chapter at the same time.
CRVC Board
Meetings
During 2024, CRVC Board
Meetings will be held via Zoom on the first or second Tuesday of odd-numbered

Contact Judie Solomon at

CRVC
Bylaws
The
CRVC Chapter Bylaws (Revised 2023) are available
for viewing.
Here’s
a call to all members..................we would love to have others assume
some of the jobs for our chapter. They are NOT big jobs, just some "pitching
in" to help with short term needs. Hopefully you can attend our board meetings
on the second Tuesdays of odd-numbered months or on Saturday immediately
preceeding a general meeting. That’s where we come up with plans for
future meetings, so you’ll enjoy the fun of learning what’s out
there.
Please
contact Lisa
(klisagreen@yahoo.com)
if you would like to help.
