March Meeting Cancelled

Hi,

Pam and I have discussed the current situation with the Corona Virus and we have decided that it is in the best interest of all our members to cancel the meeting this month. She has contacted our presenter and let her know also. We will re-evaluate the situation on a month-to-month basis and I will keep you all updated.

In the mean time, please everyone take care of yourselves and those around you and enjoy your sewing. 

If any of you need anything, call me and I will help you if I can.

Cheryl
