April Meeting CANCELLED

Hi,

I just received word from Jones Creek Library that they will be closed tomorrow due to the upcoming storm we are expecting. Due to this and the danger of the situation the April meeting is cancelled. 

We will do fabric wreaths at a later meeting when Linda is available. 

I will send out information for the overnight trip May 3 and 4 in the next couple days.

Thanks,

Cheryl
