Hello Charlotte Knitting Guild Members!
Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 1st. Many people find that meetings on the first of the month “sneak up on them,” so put this one on your calendar!
June’s program will be a cast-on clinic. Bring some smooth, sport-weight or heavier yarn and appropriate needles and we’ll see if we can add a new technique to our skill sets.
Annual Elections: The Guild’s members elected a new Board during the May meeting. The new board is:
- President: Jet LeBlanc
- Vice President: Heather Storta
- Treasurer: Gina Barrett
- Secretary: Jorah Lavin
- Volunteer/Charity Coordinator: Jeanie Hanover
- Special Event Coordinator: Davey Roberson
Our past president is Cristi Brockway.
In other news: We’re still collecting items for the Florence Crittenton home. Bring any washcloths, baby items, or other crafted things of use to a new mom. Items for the moms is welcome, don’t restrict yourself to baby items. Jeanie, our Charity Coordinator, wrote to me “…ask the members to start thinking about this year’s charity project. We can continue with Florence Crittenton, or if someone has a charity that they feel particularly passionate about we can consider it as well. Thank you! -Jeanie” We might consider switching charities after the New Year, or supporting more than a single charity.
SAVE THE DATE
The Charlotte Knitting Guild’s World Wide Knit in Public Day event will be held Saturday, June 12! The Guild will once again be sponsoring an event at the Books-a-Million in the Cotswold Shopping Center. If I have the system figured out, there should be a poster attached which you can hang up in your LYS.
