Activities

Monthly Meetings

We will continue to meet on the 3rd Monday of every month but are exploring a potential return to in person for some meetings while others may remain on Zoom. We will keep everyone posted as we get closer to September.

Visitor admission is $5, except for special guest presentations, when it is $10.

We have a Members show and tell at every meeting.  'Show' means sharing of fibre related accomplishments. 'Tell' is the sharing of anything that may be of interest to members (shows, workshops, talks).

Program Lineup

• Monday, July 19th - No meeting.
