For the foreseeable future in 2021,
ALMOST ALL Meetings, Workshops, and Sew What sessions are virtual via Zoom.
Members will receive Zoom meeting invitations via email a few days prior to the session.
Guests are welcome to attend monthly meetings—details and a link to register by using PayPal or a credit card for the $5.00 guest fee is presented with each meeting description.
New members are always welcome, visit our Membership page for details.
- We offer 10 program meetings each year with expert speakers, classes, workshops, and Show & Tell.
- We meet virtually for our Monthly programs on the third Friday of each month, except June, July, August, and December.
- In July and August we do NOT meet for a program meeting—workshops are often offered instead.
- Also note that we meet virtually for our Bee — a totally separate meeting — on most “non-meeting” Fridays, all year long. More Information here.
