Yutendale opened the meeting with guild business news:
- An
apology to all guild members that came to the first STITCH IN only to find the doors shut. There was
confusion on the actual start time. This has been corrected, and
confirmed with Beechwood Church. Going forward the new start time will be
6:00 PM. Efforts will be made to warm up the barn a bit beforehand.
Hope to see everyone on January 26.
