A message from our president ! I think one of my 2013 knitting resolutions was to downsize my stash, which I thought I was doing until I had to empty my yarn room a couple of weeks ago for new carpeting. I lost count after the 15th trip to the garage with “stuff ” from that room. Thank goodness I had Linda’s help; otherwise I probably would have started chucking stuff out the window. One thing is for certain: I won’t be moving it all back up to the room. Our January yarn yard sale, and of course our swap table at our retreat for leftover, could not come at better times.! ! Speaking of retreats, please get your registration in soon. Our Feb. 3 meeting is the deadline for registration. The committee is working on the details and gathering wonderful treats for your registration bags. The weekend promises to Salim enjoyed feeling be a fun, relaxing event with lots of the soft yarn used to make some of the gifts knitting, food and friends. It doesn’t get donated to St. Mary’s. any better than that.! ! The board will be meeting in January to make plans for the year. So, if you have any ideas for programs or events, please bring them up at the January meeting. I also am looking for suggestions for a charity to spotlight for our 2014 holiday party. I can’t tell you how impressed I was to see all the donations made to St. Mary’s Home at our recent holiday party. When a call for help is made, this Guild definitely steps forward. Thank you all for your contributions not only with knitted items, but other items on St. Mary’s wish list. And thank you Beverly for bringing that strawberry cake. YUM!! ! Besides the yarn yard sale at the January meeting, we will reveal your 2013 resolutions submitted last January and see if you remembered what you wrote and if you accomplished your goals. Be prepared to jot down your knitting resolutions and goals for 2014. See you in the New Year.! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Debbie Hen derson www.tkgv.blogspot.com
