2016 Year Plan

Our group met to create our 2016 creativity road map, please see below for the outline which includes date of the meeting, meeting place and hostess for the night.  

As a group we have decided that we will change our name to reflect the art in which we create; Leslie will update the blog to reflect this change. 

Please remember there is a $10 penalty of you do not create a challenge and a $5 penalty when we don't participate in open work night. Let's aim high and strive for $0 collection this year; making it an easy year for our treasurer! 😂

Please note that should a meeting date change occur Joanne will ensure all members are notified; if you are unable to attend please advise another member.
