Welcome 2023!  We're so excited for the New Year and hope that you are too!

We are busy working on events and programs for our members this year. We will continue support to support our mission of fellowship, education and charity, and there are plans for new programs, a virtual retreat, and this year's quilt show. We will continue our charity quilts and CPNLS efforts as well. The UFO project will return in 2023 in a new format. Please watch for more information regarding these upcoming events.

I would like to continue our goal of 75% member participation. We want to give our members the very best, and we need your help to do this. There are so many opportunities for participation. I hope that you will contact me with any ideas or suggestions on how best to do this, as I truly want to hear from you!

Please reach out to me if you have interest in volunteering or helping to organize our events. We currently need help with Programs. This position would work with Linda Starkey to support this year's events while beginning to shape the direction for next year's programs. This is a critical role for our organization. Your input and help is greatly needed to continue our work in education.

Mark your calendar for our first online program on January 12th. Michelle Crawford from "Just Cut the Scraps" will also be presenting two 1/2-day workshops on "Crumb Quilting" and "Spontaneous Log Cabin" on January 14th. Don't miss this opportunity to discover new ways to use those scraps!

We are looking forward to sharing this year with you!
