December President's Message

It is hard to believe we are already in the fourth month of the 2009-2010 VKG year. The next event of the year is the knitting retreat at Yellow Point Lodge which will be history by the time the newsletter is printed. The plan is that 19 members will have attended and hopefully will have had as great a time as was had last year. The only available spots were for 11 last year. The staff at the Lodge and I have worked together to make it possible for more to be accommodated this year. I secured the spots as they became available.
December 9th will be our Christmas social and pot luck. That is always a fun time and includes lots of wonderful food. This year there will be a gift exchange for those who wish to participate. By this we mean; bring one - take one. I hope many of you will be able to come. Parking will not be a problem. If you are not going to be at the meeting on December 2nd, when we will passing an RSVP sheet to sign, it would be nice if you could let our hostess know if you plan to come. Maria does not have an e-mail address but can be reached at 744-1053. Do come, even if you decide at the last minute. We only aim for an approximate number.
We are getting to that extra busy time of the year. If I do not see you before Christmas, have a great Christmas and a wonderful holiday season. Hope to see you in the New Year. We are planning some fun events combined with opportunities for increasing your knitting skills if you choose. We hope our meetings will continue to be a time you look forward to. Bring your suggestions for workshops, events you think we should be involved in in the community, or other ideas. We want our guild to be something we are proud to belong to and we wish for an increasing number of knitters to know we exist.
Best Wishes for the Holiday Season !
