Our meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month with a few exceptions. Open Stitch Nights are the 2nd Thursday and are Zoom meetings with an emailed invite. This meeting is for stitchers to work on whatever they desire in a relaxed atmosphere. The General Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday at Sisters of the Presentation. These meetings have a slightly more formal format with presentations, program work, and Show and Tell. We also offer a Lunch Bunch get-together which is the 3rd Friday of the month. Lunch Bunch meets in the morning and proceeds to lunch at various local restaurants.
