see some of our new members helping.I would like to thank the people who helped me
at the children's workshop.It was a success and its hard to believe but everything in the
children's workshop was donated. At Rendezvous our club is setting up some
showcases. This is where we need to show off some of our new creations so please
bring them to the meeting so Robert or Ron can use them. Aldergrove Days is in July
and we need some volunteers to help Patti set up, so keep this in mind.I will be gone in
May attending my daughters graduation and her wedding. Please contact Wendy if you
need assistance. She has the keys for the club and hall because the alarm system is up
too high for me and I have had the police there already. Wendy lives close by in
Aldergrove. See you at the meeting
Karen Soper
I wished to let everyone know what a wonderful club we have. I am a fairly new member but have thoroughly enjoyed every class I've taken from wire-­‐wrapping to silk bracelets to lapidary and of course silversmithing. The years of knowledge within our group is phenomenal. Thank you everyone. I have a>ached a few photos from the rock show and a couple from the silk bracelet class.
