The altered order of events had me a little off this afternoon. Thanks to those who straightened me out so we got all the agenda items covered.
The only announcement I had was an update on our room situation. As I've reported previously, we have been given a room at Mulberry Grove on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of Jan, Feb and March.I have talked with the leader of the club that has the room at Mulberry on the 1st and 3rd weeks and she is checking with her group to see if they would be willing to swap with us. If the recreation department approves the swap, we could possibly have one consistent meeting room for every week instead of bouncing between 3 different rooms during the year, The only problem is storage at Mulberry, but if the other club agrees to the swap I will see what can be done about that.
Our guests from Ryan's Case for Smiles gave a great talk explaining the origin and mission of their organization. They provided a handout, which I have scanned and attached to the email so you can learn about them even if you couldn't join us this afternoon. If you'd like to find out more, click on the link above.
Ellen Hein came with 12 pillowcases and 9 bandana bibs.
Audrey Phillips showed several variation on snap bags she made.
I showed a VW themed quilt I made from the rows I've collected in this year's row by row shop hop.
The 12 Ellen made went to Ryan's Case for Smiles.
12 of the ones made this afternoon that were more adult oriented will go to the Ocala Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Center.
19 child themed pillowcases will go to the Shriners Childrens Hospital.
Several ladies took fabric home to make more and when these come back they will be sorted and the bright, youthful ones will to Ryan's Case for Smiles.
A few of the ladies in the back of the room have been making snap bags and others in the group have been curious about them, so next week Linda Parr will be showing everyone how to make them. I will send out the supply list in a later email.

After show and tell and the 50/50 we started sewing up a pile of pillowcases.
The 12 Ellen made went to Ryan's Case for Smiles.
12 of the ones made this afternoon that were more adult oriented will go to the Ocala Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Center.
