 Hello fellow fiber enthusiasts!  This is my first blog post EVER--so please be kind!  Corrections and suggestions are welcome.  

Last get together was a show and tell meeting and everyone brought their A game.  Before we get into the photos, some other business.

UPCOMING CLASSES: The Finnish Folk School has some upcoming weaving classes.  Brocade is in September and Takana is in November.  Takana is all full up but sign up for brocade--see the folk school's website.

UPCOMING MEMBER RETREAT: Our member retreat is September 20 to 22.  This will also be a good opportunity to pay dues!  If you are not a member, the retreat is a good reason to become a member.  Dues are $25.00.  

YEARLY PLANNING MEETING: The yearly planning meeting will be on Sunday, September 22 at the retreat center (Marsin Retreat Center).  Come with ideas for meetings!  I am not sure of the exact time, but it will be in the afternoon.  I am sure someone can help me out here and email the group the exact time.

MONTHLY QUESTION: This is the audience participation section.  I would like to start to do a resource page for our website to share information on weaving.  Our first topic is---fiber festivals and conventions.  What festivals or conventions have you gone to and tell us if it was a good experience?  Please also add a brief description (ex. were there classes, vendors, animals?).  My email for your answer is attyericksonej1@gmail.com.
