Yahoo group members will find a flyer to print off and post sometime tomorrow. Let's publicize this one a little.

At the picnic, I will have flyers printed and available publicizing the bi-monthly meeting @ the playground outside the library, as well.

Basket Making Class

( Edited to add that Katy needs to have the money for this class by the 15th in order for the
supplies to be ordered in time. )


Katy Diltz has organized a basketmaking workshop for us

be making in the class. They are really cute and what
a great skill to develop.
