Our Holiday meeting is Thursday November 19th - 12:30pm at the Westbank Library, and is the last meeting of 2009.
Wondering what to do with that pile of magazines that are too beautiful to throw out, and at the same time wondering what to give Aunt Celeste for a gift? – Well join us, and learn a new way to turn your “junk” into treasure and possibly a joyous gift!!
Come experience a joint “recycled-craft and gift making” meeting with the Library's talented M-Team. Ideas for making gifts from recycled materials will be shared, and tables available upstairs for folks to display their gift ideas. Your participation is encouraged.
Heather P. is leading the Green$elf! charge, so contact her if you think you’d like a table to display your talent and ideas. Or if you don’t need a whole table, bring along your own ideas for a “show and tell” Also, if possible, reply to this email with electronic directions for making your item, and Beth P. will make all the directions available to the group at http://greenself.blogspot.com/
Light refreshments will be provided, so we would also appreciate a headcount of attendees. So please reply if you think you can attend and/or display.
Our next meeting won’t be until the end of January, 2010.
