Hello Ladies,

By the time you get this newsletter I will be well on my way

to see the headwaters of the Mississippi River in Minnesota,

then on to New England for lobsters and clams, Philadelphia

to see our son and then on to North Carolina to the

Mountains for some real T.L.C. cool weather and mountain

views.

Please don’t forget to bring in your Zen Pumpkin project. We

will be awarding a gift certificate to the winner. Bring some

money so you can purchase them for $8.00 each. Also please

bring in your ornament for the tree.

We are having an Ice Cream Social so please bring something

Yummy to put on the ice cream or something to eat with the

ice cream.

There will be no September meeting so I’ll see you in

October.

Hello Ladies,

We had a wonderful turn-out for a meeting in the summer, with 31 in attendance.

We have a new member Lisa Hyman, Elaine Kelly's daughter. We had one visitor,

Glenda, from Beads Gone Wild. She is a friend of Judy Jensen's. Our next

meeting is August 3rd. We will be having an Ice Cream Social. Hope to see

everyone there.

Ways & Means by Marianne Troyan

I’m back from the far North – Pennsylvania and Ohio are still there! Really, some states are even hotter than

here at home.

Remember that at the August meeting we will be looking at the Zen Pumpkin project slates and voting on the

best of the best. A small gift will be given to the winner. Also, bring your glass ornaments that we will vote

the best of the best, and then a small gift will be given for this winner also. We will see the slates at the fall

show and the ornaments will be on a tree for the raffle.

Again, thank you all for your support in these two projects – you are all great!

Hospitality by Laurie Odeski

Hi Ladies!

August’s meeting is an ice cream social! We have the ice cream and whip cream and now

need all kinds of toppings and maybe some cookies! Whatever you can think of. Thanks

and I’ll see you there.
