Crystal Quilters Calendar

Friday, Dec. 2 - Our Holiday Potluck!  Crystal Quilters and Crystal Quilters Too.  At Noon.  Location has changed!  Instead of meeting at Lorrie Maras' house, we will now meet at our usual meeting place - the clubhouse at Mountain Villa Mobile Home Park, 1099 Mountain Villa Dr. (just south of the Summit Student Center), Enumclaw.  The meeting will be on the upper level.  Lorrie will provide all the paper products (plates, napkins, etc.).  Please bring a dish to share, along with any serving utensils needed for it.  Bring a donation for the Food Bank and 1/2 yard of fabric (or 2 fat quarters) in a brown paper bag for an exchange.  The drawings for the Raffle Quilt and the raffle baskets from the quilt show will also be done.  Don't forget your Show and Tell items!

Annual Dues are due by January 1, 2012.  Still a bargain at $15!  You may pay at the Holiday Potluck if you wish.
