Come join us for a day of outreach.  In the morning, we will stitch very small decorations to adorn a little tree.  This will be our gift to Duncaster (Retirement Community) to thank them for their generosity toward our group and to add to their holiday décor.  Questions about the blackwork patterns will be discussed, and a "sweet" door prize will be won by some lucky person.  The meeting will take place at the Duncaster conference room, and a luncheon has been arranged for us.  On your registration coupon, please choose the lunch you would like to order.

What to bring:  Show and tell – something of interest to you, or a project you are working on

Schedule for the Day:  10 am to 3 pm

10 AM to 12:30 PM        Stitching and show and tell

12:30 PM to 1:30 PM      Lunch

1:30 PM to 3 PM             Short meeting and finishing the ornaments
