OUR 2022 PROGRAMS
About MLQ Programs and Events
- We offer 10 program meetings each year with expert speakers, classes, workshops, and Show & Tell.
- We meet 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 in person at the Tredyffrin Library for our Bee (“Sew What”)– a totally separate meeting — on the first Friday of each month, all year long.
