Activities
Monthly Meetings
Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month, from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Ottawa Citizen Main Floor Board Room, Baxter Road, Ottawa.
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).
