At our June luncheon we said "Goodbye" to Sylvia Wilkins as President.

We all appreciated her energy, commitment and creativity. She had a great three years as our leader. She did not leave the executive, however, but has merely taken up co-responsibility for our Programming with Agnes Williams.

Over the summer we have been meeting in each others homes and gardens and will continue to do so until the second Monday in September. If we don't have a hostess any week we pack our bags and go to Thompson Park for a real Art in the Park experience.

On July 27, Fran Evans has arranged for us to go to the Stitch and Pitch ball game at the Rogers Centre. We had a great time last year and came home with bags of goodies which we shared and swapped.

Come September, Sylvia and Agnes have arranged for us to begin a needle roll and will be teaching us both the Queens' stitch and the Nun's stitch. We are also planning an afternoon at the Zoo.

In October, Caroline Morrison will come for two sessions and lead us through the making of a French Purse. Some of us will be travelling down to the Quinte meeting.

In November, Brenda Wilson and Dale Edwards will be helping us make a variety of Christmas Ornaments.

Our fall session will wind up with a Christmas potluck luncheon the first Monday in December. The luncheon includes an opportunity for folks to bring and sell their work and sing-a-long to some seasonal music. We also invite an artist group who meet at the same time to join us.

In the meantime a committee will be hard at work planning a very special celebration for our 35th Anniversary in February, 2011.

How will we ever get any of our own projects finished?
