All meetings are held at the Howard Weston Senior Center. Membership at the Senior Center is free. (FYI--they've got great trips and classes!) We bring our own lunch and beverages.

WOOLMINGTONS HOLIDAY GATHERING
SATURDAY, 12/6/25.
9-4PM
Come one, come all to our Holiday Gathering!
Put on your seasonal duds and let's have a jolly time!
(Hint: you might want to brush up on your Holiday Trivia...there might be a contest and a prize!)
We discussed the day and have decided upon the following:
We'll have a shared food table. Please consider bringing one of the following:
An appetizer or snack item
A "dessert" or sweet item
I picked up paper goods, so we are good there. We also have a great supply of plastic ware thanks to Marian. (Please note- Marian will be attending Saturday. Please reach out to her ahead of time if you need any wool for an upcoming project.)
I will bring some bottled sodas, and we have coffee pods.
GIFT EXCHANGE
Lois is back in full swing with her "Holiday Gift Swap!"
The group decided there will NOT be a raffle table, instead we will WRAP a gift for a swap. The gifts are suggested to not exceed a $20 limit. Many members have contacted me and are making handmade gifts. I cannot wait to see them all!
PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF FUTURE MEETINGS:
As always, our winter meetings are weather dependent. Please check your email and/or FB page for cancellation. We always cancel the day before in order to give fair notice. In the event of inclement weather, Vicki and I will work together to reschedule and notify the group ASAP.
