VaP (Vivian and Phyllis) Vibes
Whew! Made it
through Easter! Now we are getting ready for graduations and weddings at Lace
Cottage. We are also working on our
summer schedule which will include another Kids’ Camp!
Our meeting at the Smocking Guild went very well with the
Wee Care Gowns! I think we received
another order for more – so please, if you are up to it- take some gowns next
week.
I know we are working at the Germantown Library event
again this year. We are looking for
other activities or outings to schedule just for us to spend time
together. If you have any ideas, please
let me know.
And yes…..I am bringing the gift this month, since I was
delinquent last month!
See you Tuesday.

There will be no May Wee Care Workday – lots of
travel/vacation by many in the group. Mark your calendar for our next Wee Care
Workday will be the 4th
Tuesday in June – June 27.
Many
kudos to those working at our Wee Care Workday workday in April – Amy Johnson, Regina Sanford, Jane Gross,
Glynda Whitlow, Jane Soffos, Sarah Schwab, Susan Batson, and Laurel Adamsen.
Diane Drennen stopped by for encouragement. It’s great to see her up again!
Program:
We
will be concentrating on step-by-step smocking and completing Wee Care gowns.
You only need to bring sewing scissors. We will be completing our Wee Care
gowns that we started last month. Many hands will see lots of love in new Wee
Care gowns!

5th Annual
How-To Festival
Germantown Community
Library
Planning has begun for
the 2017 How-To Festival. As an alumni presenter, we have been
extended a special early invitation for the 2017 event. Just like last year,
we’ll be helping people to learn new skills in a friendly, free, hands-on
environment.
The community will be
invited to the library to rotate between tables and decide what they would like
to learn. To enhance the learner's experience, we are encouraged to make our
presentation as hands-on as possible.
