Also, think about future programs, and what you could teach or share with the group.

Weaving Classes will begin in July. We will start our classes on July 2nd, using our regularly scheduled monthly space at Hauberg for our first class. Mary and Becky S, and Jean K. are currently on the class list. Let us know if you are also interested, as we could have a couple more in the class.
