Dear Guild members, At the time I am writing this I am looking forward to the wonderful weekend we are about to have with Sally Melville. But by the time you are reading this the weekend will have passed. I would just like to take a minute here and thank Trink Dahl-Prince for all her hard work in setting up the Sally Melville weekend and making it a memorable weekend for all of us. Trink started putting this weekend together a couple of years ago. She was the driving force behind all the details (and there were a lot of them!) Thank you, Trink, for everything! Another person who deserves a big “thank you” is Debbie Henderson. She set up our booth at the Chesapeake Waterways festival in October and worked it during the entire event. Debbie also is our charity committee chairperson. She has given countless hours to this task in order to distribute the items that are donated by guild members to the various charities. Thank you, Debbie! Thank you to all of you who bring your own hearts and talents to our meetings and events and share them with us all. You make our Guild what it is. As we begin the roll into the holiday season, just remember to take time to relax and enjoy your life. (Usually that means ... sit down and knit a bit!) See you soon.
