Feb President's Message

Image via Wikipedia

It is hard to believe we are already into the second month of 2010. I trust the enthusiasm we
saw in 2009 will continue. The executive is very encouraged by several new members, the increasing number attending the meetings and the response to the request for suggestions.
The suggestions have been compiled for everyone's feedback so we know what the group wants to happen in our next few months. We will work to make as many as possible happen.

The Christmas pot-luck which was held at Maria's was enjoyed by all twenty-six members who attended and was a great way to end 2009.

The eighteen of us who attended the Retreat at Yellow Point Lodge had a great time. The weather couldn't have been better. It was so warm and beautiful that some of us were able to sit outside and knit awhile. Everyone who went plans to go again this year. If you would like to go this year, Nov. 28th and 29th, let me know as soon as possible along with your preference for accommodation. When Yellow Point Lodge gets a cancellation which falls on our dates, they let me know. I only have a day to get a deposit to them to hold it., so let me know as soon as you decide you want to go.

Anita has some exciting workshops planned. She shared the Domino knitting technique at our last meeting at St. Aidens. Many of us found this enjoyable and informative, and for some members it was a great review.

Application has been sent to the planning committee for the "50+ Active Living Celebration" which is to be held at the Pearkes Arena, Mar. 5th from 10;00 - 4:00, to let them know that we would like to participate again. Hopefully I will know by our meeting on Feb.3rd if we have been accepted so as to recruit helpers. Last year it was an enjoyable day and we had a lot of interest at our booth.

I hope your year so far has been a good one and that you are getting lots of knitting done.
Your President, Marjory MacDuff.
