Calendar
Thank you everyone for the amazing festival season!
The site looked good
We looked good
We all had fun
We ate well.
Hopefully next year will be just as good if not better.
The plans going forward for the rest of this year, and the beginning of next year, is to have more meet-ups off site. This is for a couple of reasons:
To see how everyone is doing
To work repairing and or making new clothing
To meet new/potential members and give them an idea about how we work as a group and help them to develop.
I am still new to the role of leader and want the McDara Family of Trade to develop, grow and thrive. I want old members to feel secure and safe but also to encourage and grow the group in a positive direction. It is with these off-season meetups that we can create those connections and build a stronger McDara.
Lastly, I am always open for discussion and ideas to help better the group.

Dates to Remember
September 9 and/or 10 Stitch & Bitch
Upland - Dennise's house
This is an opportunity fix current clothes or measuring for new ones and create patterns. I know I am being overoptimistic. The hope is for everyone working together with varying skills to create a positive outcome. I do not expect full clothes to be made but having tools/skills to continue working on, in your own time. I would like to have multiple “Stitch and Bitch” to maybe get everyone a new shirt or other garments. We can discuss this after the first one is done and how far anything got done.
November 11 or 12 Potluck "Ketchup"
Upland or Redlands
The Plan for November is to have a potluck and catch-up. Maybe a continuation of the “Stitch and Bitch”.
January 13 or 14 Guild Meeting
Redlands
January is to start talking about the festival and getting times/dates taken care of; build out dates, dinner/kitchen schedule, and any other concerns.
March 9 or 10 Guild Meeting
Redlands
March will be much the same as January except faire registration should be done, guild dues, more build-out planning.
