Happy Holidays!

I would just like to take a minute and wish every one of you a very Happy Holiday Season.  Although it can be a very busy time of year, it seems like most of us get to enjoy some time off work to just relax at home with our families. I hope you get plenty of "down time" and that you get to knit your little ole heart out during this time. I look forward to seeing some of the new creations at our January meeting. Until then . . . Happy Holidays!

New Meeting Location

BIG NEWS!!! Starting with our February 2011 meeting, all our meetings will be held at Westminster Canterbury. See our newsletter for details.

The president reviewed the Heifer Fund program and suggested we review a potential donation to the Heifer Fund at January, 2011 meeting. 

The president advised the overwhelming majority of members who responded to the location preference poll preferred meeting at Westminster-Canterbury.  The president will follow up with Westminster-Canterbury to confirm when we can start meeting at Westminster-Canterbury.  The president will have further updates on the meeting location at the January, 2011 meeting.

The president opened the floor to suggestions for additional 2011 TKGV activities.  Members suggested planning a Richmond, VA yarn shop crawl and an out of town knitting retreat, perhaps to the Outer Banks, N.C.  Members will research the possibilities of these events.

We concluded the meeting with the member show and tell and the gift exchange.  The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
